No picture of the driver's seat bolster nearest the door? I wonder why!

They don't look right in white unless there's a big red stripe down the side and a lightbar on the roof

Surprised Kate hasn't already bought it with that in mind! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Joking aside, i wonder if closer inspection would reveal any tell-tale wiring mods and holes from lightbars blue xenon strobes etc?

I don't think it is an ex job vehicle.
Zooming in on the speedo there are no extra graduation marks or calibration plaque.

I wish we had one of these in the Met. My what fun we could have had :lol: 8)

I think its civilian spec.

Stating the obvious, it could have had the speedo changed but what about if it was a plain clothes car? Would it still have had the speedo treatment? Presumably if it had been used for motorway use to catch speeders it would have to have it but if it was something like a CID hack for chasing high speed criminals?

So unusual to see a white one without the "go faster stripes" and "disco lights" - i wonder if it was bought with that in mind by a civilian owner?
Cheers,
Dave
