I think the Mk1 was a devon & cornwall traffic car. The unmarked one with the blue grille strobes was an ex-Flying Squad car i'm told

Heres a few non 800 ex met cars that I thought might draw a bit of interest whilst we're on the subject!
The story behind the 200 coupe was apparently back in the early 90s there was a huge problem with ram raiders using Sierra Cosworths, so the met decided to hire a fleet of 200's (and a Porsche 968) to catch them because they were having trouble keeping up in their Metro's!

This is an inspired thread. 800s look absolutely fabulous in their full livery, i recall seeing many on the beat at the time and it seemed that you could hardly watch an epp of Police Camera Action without seeing one in hot pursuit! Does anyone remember the full eppisode called "The Liver Run" that followed an SD1 i think it was as it had to dash across a rush hour London to deliver its precious cargo. Was excellent. Im not a fan at all of the Ucerpers either Kate!!!

Re: Police 800 photo album
If anyone is interested in seeing the police 827 it will be going to the Bromley motor pageant on 10th June 2012.

Re: Police 800 photo album
ps first view of new forum. What do the little "on fire" notes at the begining of certain titles mean? Do they mean the thread is soon to be deleted?
If so can this one be saved guru ,for archive purposes, as I may have some more pictures coming.

Re: Police 800 photo album
It means it's popular, nothing more. Nothing's going anywhere, don't worry.

Re: Police 800 photo album
Kate is a serving Police Officer, currently in the Traffic Division piloting a Met motor sickle. I believe she is an Advanced Driver & Pursuit qualified. Has a couple of 800's and a small collection of classic bikes. She kindly bought the Met's 827 to Bromley last year. Great Lady, but, treat her with respect

Re: Police 800 photo album
Thanks for the background info. I respect the police unlike many others. Although i am yet to run into one.
