Strathclyde Police Unmarked Evoque - XFullFatTim - 12-10-2012 10:52pm
Santorini Black Prestige 5 Door on a private plate, concealed blue lights in the radiator grille and rear bumper and a aerodynamic light bar on the roof mounted on a homemade mounting on top of Land Rover roof rails and cross bars, being driven by a uniformed police officer stopped next to me in the city centre this morning. Maybe the Chief Constable has moved down to a smaller car!

I knew it wouldn't be long before the boys in Blue got hold of one or more.
But, come on a private plate on a taxpayers car, that is not on. Discuss.
Oh, and I've been involved in a very nasty RTA today, thank heavens for airbags, I still don't know how I walked away from the vehicle, some wrist damage, explosive burns up my arms, Lord knows what kind of aches I'll be presented with in the morning.
But the Boys in Blue were a big help and were on the scene in minutes.

Glad you are fine, what about the car?
The private plate is why I think it could have been the Chief Plods company car or a loaner from LR

It was a works van, I do a couple of days a week part time for the Hospital.
The van is a write off no question about that.
I was coming over a set of traffic lights a major junction doing about 30 mph, when a car came straight across me having come over on a red! Driver admitted so to the Police. There was no way I could stop or avoid her.

The Police Authority pays 49% of any capital expenditure, the Government the other 51%, no VAT, so expensive motors aren't so expensive. When auctioned off, the Police Authority gets all the dosh. No brainer!

And where does the police authority funding come from? The public of course, so whatever way you look at it, it's the public that are paying!

My sister saw a white evoque police car, unmarked with blue lights in front & a detachable roof light in Telford area, she did send me a photo but can't find it now.

Welcome spursevoque,
I think the police should buy British manufactured, keeps it generating work in the country!
