Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This is no ordinary Rover P6.
This is no ordinary police car - if you fell down the stairs on the way into the back of this vehicle you were in for a really bad day - you'd probably never be seen again for it is armour plated and was used by the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police to protect dignitaries back in the day. The bullet proof glass has been removed but this vehicle is otherwise unchanged hence it has a kerb weight of approx 2200kg. It has not quite retired yet - it belongs to a serving police officer and he has the right to use the blues and twos - apparently he was so ticked off by a lane-swerving, mobile phone using moron on the motorway that he gave the old klaxon a blast. Sadly police cars of this era lack CCTV cameras because the look on the errant driver's face was a sight to behold, according to the policeman. The policeman has reported the other driver for the use of a mobile phone so I reckon the cops should get some more P6s back on the road as soon as they can! |
