L00b Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I see that range rover most mornings, joining m1 north from m18, around 08:30. Dunno about legality of it or otherwise, but op is right, if you have never seen it before it's a damn close imitation. But blue and yellow are a bit 'off colour' compared to the real deal (blue is a bit tealy, yellow a bit more orangey/yolky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exitleft79 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just to help aha its actually my range rover I have a heavy recovery and service yard I deal with big wagons and busses . The range rover is for assistance on motorways and carriageways . The light board is clear but displays amber and red . It's clears as this is modern technology . The cones are their to put on carriageway as for yellow and blue chequers its a legal requirement for highway vehicles to display them and no law as to colours you can use .

jimmyt101 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Been past the fiesta tonight and it's badged up as NYPD, black wings and wite doors. Sadly NYPD cars aren't black and white they are blue and white and the blue isn't even dark enough to be mistaken as black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie007 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 saw three blokes at woodhouse social club last week impersonating the police walking on the moon wasn't bad, but roxanne and message in a bottle was rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bracken Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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. ...sounds like Malcolm Bishops ? used to have a scrapyard during 70's -80's. Seems to have done well over the years !!!.... http://www.malcolmbishop.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
