175k is nothing for a well maintained V6. Could probably do the same again  :happy2:

Looks like it still has some additional lights in the bumpers too.

This car used to live on the M6, I passed it once in my Grey MK5 R32 whilst it was giving someone a telling off. I'm sure it's also been on traffic cops in the past too  :happy2:

Oh, and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole  :sick:

I'd never touch an ex-services vehicle, my mate was obsessed with the 300 bhp Volvo T5 ambulances and picked one up as "a bargain". Blew it up not long after, and that engine is allegedly bulletproof...

Agreed, a copper isn't going to be arsed about warming the car up if on a Blue light, it's going to have a thrashing every single day of it's life.

30:18 onwards, maybe not the same one as I spotted and that's for sale as this one is/was based in Sussex

Shouldn't say this but my brother works in traffic. The service thing is bull. They only get serviced when something brakes. Steer clear mate.
