Ex police cars - good buy or not?

[Aston Martin]

Yes we have Protons galore, but we also have that Isf and we used to have these...

 

 

I haven't seen them in a while.

Last time the uk police bought a proper car was 1982.

Looking at the Police Spec Vauxhall Senator 3.0 24v compaired to the standard spec model 1993 (1).jpg

I dunno, I thought this thread was about current ex-plods but I looked in here and what do I find? I had one of these, ex-plod 24 valve Senny. Trouble was the previos owner had driven it into the ground, even the boot lid was just about to fall off and he'd driven it with a blown hose for so long the block was banana-shape. It was cheap though, and I used lots of it to sort out the Senator in my garage bit.

 

It still had bits of jam sandwhich on it, holes in the roof, a calibrated speedo, wires absolutely everywhere in an untidy mess and what looked like helmet marks on the roof lining (!). As the article states, 5 speed manual, cloth seats (I have a vague idea they had heaters in them though), keep fit windows, no cruise, electric nothing.

 

Oops, the uploader seems to be broke...Bloatofucket it is.
