Hello hello hello
Police dog van ? Vent and areil,on roof.Note the semaphores.They are fixed to the B post,with no bracket to push them out a little further,so traffic behind could see them a little better. I wonder If that Jag is still about. I don't hold to much hope for the Dog van,it's probably a little bit Ruff now. Nice shot.[frame][/frame]

Re: Hello hello hello
Hi,I wonder If that Jag is still about.
No sign of 276 TBH on the DVLA site either, though that's not to say it hasn't ended up in a lock up somewhere.............. waiting............
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Hello hello hello
Thank you Jagnut. I remember Jag police cars on the M6, as you approached Birmingham.[frame][/frame] I also remember owning an ex Police Capri. It could shift.

Re: Hello hello hello
I had a 1986 ford Capri 1.6 Laser in the early 1990's, D712 JBU (last taxed in 2003 - last seen in the Newbury, Berkshire area, if anyone knows anything...), I fitted a Weber carb on it in place of the ford 'thing', that improved things a bit. However not as fast as your ex-Police one I have no doubt!
