The Impreza belongs to Devon & Cornwall Police and the Evo belongs to Essex Police.

IIRC Hull polie were the first, about 5 years ago and had the sump guards modified so they could take speed bumps at 70mph

Lol! That sounds like the concept of a new ITV series. Tooled up cops flying round in Imprezas.
The Professionals: 2003 anyone?

Heard the odd few saying something about unmarked Audis S3's doing the rounds of some motorways.
So beware!

The top pic is years old and it was a Prodrive tuned version, they also got a unmarked Prodrive'd one at the same time.
The evo was for an evaluation and was rejected because after 700miles the clutch went and a few other things went wrong, so they dropped it and went for Impreza's.

I reckon that scoob was a publicity stunt... Clock the number on the top... it was 118.... Do you reckon there was another behind it also with 118 on top and they were chasing after one marked 192...

The amount of speeding tickets they give to Scoob owners,These coppas shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any Scoobs!I will suggest the makers of Scoobs to put an automatic sensor alarm devise in the car so that,when a copper comes anywhere near it,it will go "Pong Pong" and detect the coppa then, speak a recorded msge-"Back off you cophead "!!!

Is that a 840i or a 850i?
An 850i will chase down anything!

The first picture is an ex humberside police car, driven by a Police officer known to quite a lot of us older members of scoobynet. It was the first Police Impreza in the country and had the prodrive WR Sport kit on it plus a lot of ariels.
That car was up for sale on scoobynet in Oct 2001 after being sold by the Police.
