@davidwilkins Loved those! Highway patrol used the 3.0L Senator everywhere, and especially as unmarked cars. I remember as a teenager in my silly Ford Sierra watching out for missing rear headrests, urban legend (?) had it that it was a sure sign it was an unmarked cop car. 😂

@davidwilkins Oh, and if I remember rightly, when they were no longer highway patrol cars Humberside Police did something rather clever to combat joy-riders. They were obsolete as chase vehicles (they'd bought an Escort RS Cossy and a Subaru Impreza for that, only way to keep up with a nicked Renault 5 Turbo) ... but the Senator had a second life with the dog teams. Two officers + two German Shepherds per car. Quick enough to only be 30 seconds or so behind, then RELEASE THE HOUNDS. 😂
