buddysbuddy 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. i think you are talking about malcolm bishop. i seem to remember he had a scrap yard in the catcliffe area, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speeder Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 could be any kind of rescue vehicle, our motorsport rescue units are fully striped, and blue lighted as they are also a fully equipped ambulance and can (have) been used for RTAs on the way to and from race meetings, they also carry cutting equipment and usually a qualified A&E doctor!

Bruce_Shark Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This image is of the Highways Agency Traffic Officers Vehicle Yeah, but HATOs are yellow/black, not yellow/blue like the Police. Usual UK markings: Police Yellow / Blue Ambulance and doctors Yellow / Green Fire and Rescue Yellow / Red National Blood Service Yellow / Orange Highways Agency and VOSA Yellow / Black Rail response Blue / Orange Mountain rescue White / Orange HM Coastguard Yellow / Navy Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus 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. There's someone around here who actually imported a black and white American police car. Thread about it here, picture of it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police made him take the lights off the roof even though they weren't functional. That was Malcolm Bishop who used to own Bishop car salvage, great bloke got lots of parts for my old cars from him until the bypass was built and the council forced him to close down. Mal if you're reading this I was the one with the clapped out mini which looked like it should've been in your scrapyard years before which needless to say didn't last much longer.....

Which bypass was that, the Malcolm Bishop I knew was based just off East Bank Road on Myrtle Road, but then again that was the early seventies.
