Hi guys,
I saw a marked Police Forester by the London Eye on Monday, does anyone have any more information about them? It looked pretty smart, but I was unable to tell whether it was an S-turbo or not.

I passed a Military Police Forester Turbo-S on the North Circular in Palmers Green a few weeks ago so presumably they might have a small fleet of them?

There's a Police S-Turbo in Fleet - seems to hang around the Shell garage a lot, as every time I go for Optimax I seem to see it - mind you I do use a LOT of Optimax

Cool

I regularly see one in the Westminster area. Obviously they need the ground clearance for all the pot holes in central London...

Question

Mike/Jake,

Are the one's you've seen in North London Military Police (like the one I saw on the North Circ) or plain 'ol Met?

The one in Westminster belongs to the parks police. They need it for when people disobey the "keep off the grass" signs! Seriously, I think it makes an excellent police car

The Foresters that you see are most probably MOD Police not RMP army which means they could cause you a few problems depending on what you are doing Goverment Cop not Council Cop they also have all the gear inside they may not stop you but they can radio the met pol and let them deal with you !!

I've seen 3 Police non Turbo Forresters at Lavender Hill Garage on a number of occasions. See them around South Mimms services from time to time too.
