I got this 13 years ago before giving it to my son this summer.
Don't tell him but I think I've fallen in love with it again.

I used to thrash them from stone cold for a living. There are good ones out there, but they're a rarity.

I had the ex tulliallan police training car, 850 t5 manual saloon, bought it from it's first 'civilian' owner, the traffic cop who bought it from auction when it was pensioned off. Fantastic car with the most comprehensive history I have ever seen!!

I believe a lot of police drivers would often buy their old rides when they came out of service. My nephew bought a S60 T5 ex plod from a dealer of used police/mod vehicles a few years ago and he said the biggest proportion of his customers were serving police officers.
