segasonic Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 When I was a kid some bloke who lived near to where I grew up had a replica American police car, look nothing like a British police car. The police made him take the lights off the roof even though they weren't functional. Was that the one on Spotswood Road? I was fascinated by that when I was a kid.

zippy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 OP it's obviously not a 'fake police vehicle' as it doesn't say 'police' on it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Shark Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As long as the blue checker is non reflective its quite legal, if the blue cheker is reflective then its illegal. Really? Are you sure blue scotch-lite is illegal on non-police vehicles? I'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bus man Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Or mountain rescue? If it was a mountain rescue vehicle then it could have blue flashing lights but it would say mountain rescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Was that the one on Spotswood Road? I was fascinated by that when I was a kid. No, I was brought up in North Yorkshire. This car was built from an American car, I think the guy had a scrapyard and he'd built a few amazing customized American cars, we were always in awe of some of his creations. You never know it might have been the same car he might have sold them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Mountain Rescue wouldn't be so crass and vulgar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiSiSi Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Someone top of the hill around here has a matt black and white ford fiesta made to look like an American police car, it has police and 911 stickers and stuff on. How sad is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Collins Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 OP it's obviously not a 'fake police vehicle' as it doesn't say 'police' on it ... It may not be a police vehicle but whoever designed it and applied the mods has tried his best to emulate the look of a police vehicle. The owner might like the look, he may use it for work or just get a kick out of making people think its a cop car. It's enough to make you look more than once in your mirrors if you saw it.

I think if it was just joe bloggs the police probably would have something to say. If it's a motorway rescue vehicle then I'd want it to look pretty damn official if I was getting out into 90 mph traffic to slow things down.
