If you want to find out just what cars the police are using go to their service/repair centre for unmarked cars in Greenwich, it's next the self storage place and what was platform builders merchants on anchor and hope lane as your looking at the front of the self storage place, go down the left side of it all the way to the end in the left corner is a building with a yard that has an 8 foot security fence around it.

They don't like people knowing what it's for but seeing as I put the fence up it wasn't hard to find out, especially as I would talk to the people working there. they even used to have an old an 80s cavalier. c reg whatever year that is.

They used to have police in and out all day long in their unmarked cars, wasn't very good when I think that I was working with 2 other people, 1 always had drugs on him and the other was a dealer that had just got out from prison after selling to an undercover copper.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

Cambs police have a couple of un-marked Skoda Superbs they use. Boring colours as well, so certainly catch people out.

I'd heard that they often use cars they seize from criminals as un-marked, which would explain some of the more interesting choices being used :)

They're still the least sneaky police I've yet to see. Bright painted speed cameras, big camera vans with clear markings on them, etc. In Spain police hide cameras in bins, park up undercover cars with gun up on dash and policeman leaning over to passenger side to avoid being seen, etc.

I know the place, round the corner from makro's and asda's, they started using some weird buildings nowadays as well. Thamesmead for instance, used to have a small compound and mobile huts to form a police station not far from town center, now they are based in a warehouse which is the new station.

I must be honest I don't think i'd be too inclined to stop for an 02 plate Leon or a Nissan Navara.
