Standard breaking auction, driven plod ones. Unless it has an LSD fitted. No different to an MV6

Meant from driving perspective, but yes, less kit than a GLS  ;D

 :o   ;D  , Only 4 Good reason i can think of that would justify buying a ex-Police..


1. If it Has all the police decals still on with lights  ::)


2. Only way to get a 3.2 with a manual which could be converted to MV6/Elite Spec if the ££££ allows.. ;)


3. LSD Fun ideal cheap track drift car if your into that sort of thing..


4. Take the best bits you want off it to put on yours..

1. Decals are removed, before it leaves the Police, as are lights & other toys

2. Possible but a lot of work, easier to add manual box to MV6/Elite

3. LSD not fitted to all plod, only a few had them.

4. LSD + gearbox only useful bits, maybe HIDs too

I miss my 2.2 manual sometimes, I think with the 4 pot manual makes sense. But with 3.2 auto suits it best, just style of engine I think

Just poorly cleaned, no decals :)

Sometimes a siren is left on, odd bit. But generally de-branded

Is this the Simon who used to be on this site?
I only met him once at a meet opposite Josh's in Oxford and he does look familiar.
