I remember watching the football matches with these cars parked all the way around the ground

 

they were good for preventing pitch invasions

Yes, from about 1943 to 1990, inclusively.

Thanks-I googled it and got nothing, thought maybe I dreamt it (of all the things one could dream.)

Remember once at Highfield Road in the 70's, just before the match started, think a driver of one of these had a fit or something, as one took off across the pitch out of control, zig zagging left to right as it went!  About a douzen coppers running after it.  All that was missing was the Benny Hill music!
