Local plod in a Volvo estate pulled an Astra two door hatchback[a reasonably new one not an old banger]outside work today,and within twenty minutes it was on the back of a low loader[the Astra that is not the Volvo!]and the driver was kindly being given a lift in the police car.

They still using them old things 
On this matter of crushing , would it be better to sell the car on for a profit then re distribute the money made to a good cause . Just seems like a waste crushing a perfectly usable car

Err no, how would that support our car industry? Plus too much common sense. Oh and it would take too much manpower to process fairly the sale.

Dismantle the car and sell the bits abroad for a nice tidy profit

i think you will find they do sell some of them if they think it will make more than £ 3,500  ( only some forces do any way essex/kent  plod do ), as a friend of mine has the contract with essex/kent plod if the vehicle is taken without keys to break into them and cut new keys/program new transponders and generally get them running so that they can be shipped to auction.

I've seen several cars on ebay that are police seizures that are being re-sold, not high value ones either.

Think it varies from force to force what they do with them.

[hercules]

they should use them as battering rams or as cars that dont matter if they are bashed while in pursuits
