Title: And so it begins...
Post by: joshwyatt on 06 August 2010, 18:45:30

The transformation from average looking white saloon, to fully marked operational Thames Valley Police unit. This vehicle is OY52 YOG and served with TVP for three years, and did 120,000 miles in that time.

It currently has a prefacelift LT interior, which will be going...no idea why you'd fit prefacelift especially with no side airbags. Few jobs to be done on the engine, seeping cam cover gasket and a good service etc

Battenburg livery is on order, lightbar to be picked up, police radio present. Roof air codes and bonnet wording and crest all sorted aswell, chevrons will come with the battenburg, jacking point indicators already made. Need to find a suitable siren unit, and flashing headlight relay, but other than that it's now just doing all the things it needs. Hoping it'll be ready within 6 to 10 weeks.

Here it is as it stands;

Can I presume you know James Waddington from ABS?
He likes blue flashing lights too....................

I do indeed  :y
He's got an ex Herts (I think) Omega ARV estate, and he's just taken on a new project.
