Looked like a silver people carrier (Merc A class?) coming towards me in a school district, so paid no attention as typical style for the area. Suddenly, headlights flashed alternately and it was long gone before I could identify anything.

was it one of those dirty big merc hearse looking things

I saw an unmarked Discovery 3 in Birmingham. That opened my eyes a little...

Seems the plod are using a wider and more diverse range of unmarked cars these days... Better watch out...!

Memories are always iffy, but I reckon it was shorter and taller than that. It was pootling along, just as I was, at the 30 limit - then it was gone - whoosh.

They are even using Skoda's nowadays

Let's hope they don't adopt the Roomster or no-one will be able to take them seriously

Possibly a B-class? Looks a bit like an A-Class but, well, bigger...

Rob.

And available with a 2.0 petrol turbo

I saw a Merc V-Class (green, I think), and a silver Audi A3 doing the unmarked police car thing on the M62 a couple of years ago - they're certainly going for variety, these days!

Probably a B class. And having test driven one I can concur that they are very competant cars!!

I have recently seen around Manchester a red Golf GTi, a silver Audi A3, a multitude of vectras of varying colours and a maroon Volvo V70. The Golf looked a little different though . . . does the Ed 30 come in red?! :eek:

Saw my first R class yesturday, R330 i think, deisel too? Looked pritty impressive.

Sure it wasn't one of these :

I saw an unmarked people carrier on the M6 about 7 or 8 months back. I think it was a Ford Galaxy, original shape, but can't remember now as my memory is crap!!!

Galaxy's do exist as Police Cars... If that's what you want to call them.

Actually, yeah, now i've thought about it, i have seen a fully marked up Galaxy as well!!

@ cheezemonkhai. It could well have been a Ford Galaxy though, as the alternately flashing lights were quite close to the centre and the Merc B grid looks a bit wide.

Our local plod are using one of these, I kid you not!

I think a white sprinter makes one of the ultimate high speed pursuit vehicles, only being surpassed by the same in royal mail colours.

I mean how often have you seen a sprinter van going slow, or for that fact below NSL.

They are even using Skoda's nowadays

Kent Police have Skoda.

Speaking to them, theyt say they are a hoot to drive round town and great on the motorway too.

Lots of the Police vehicles are TDi including the Octy vRS' they use.
