I think you have the coolest Evoque for its function. I need to see more pics.... Do you also get a dettachable siren to go with it?

Evo-King, That's a good point you raise. I can confirm that JLR did want to ensure the Evoque was adopted by the Emergency services, initially, very good deals were available via our leasing companies. I and a number of my colleagues were fortunate in ordering early, I think we have 15 on order in total. However the unprecedented demand has resulted in those special offers being withdrawn and I think that is fair given the large number of people who are experiencing continual delays.
It is interesting to note that those of us who ordered Dynamics, received our cars quickest, those who ordered Pure's which were due for initial delivery in Jan are still waiting.

Shortened Poppy. I accidentally co-founded a few $billion startups, in software systems and service provision infrastructure. Now, in my 40's, I make unwise investments which typically fail to make the world a better place. The Evoque was a wise investment, though.

Hi Jitenc, our vehicles are fitted with lights concealed in the front grille area. We have sirens permanently installed as well. We use a small "Kojak" style light when we are mobilised to incidents. Initially this caused a problem as the small "Kojak" style light is magnetic and normally attaches to the roof, however the Evoque roof is aluminium.
We decided to fit rails and roof bars and the light now attaches to a purpose made plate that is fixed to the roof bar.
It's a good work round and has almost sent our fleet controller grey, but he has worked hard to ensure we didn't have to cancel the vehicles. And I'm grateful to him.

You don't happen to work for a company called Neptune do you?

No not Neptune. Will be heading over to Perth in May for 6 weeks to prepare for a test program in Henderson later this year.
Hopefully will be staying in Freeo near Challenge Harbour again although will hit Northbridge for a few beers at weekend.
I will see if I can spot you distinctive RRE and plate when in Perth.
