Police 800 photo album

Post by TDHFastback » Thu Nov 11, 2010 6:41 pm

Right good people
Thought I would start up an album for any piccies of Police 800's in action (or rozzer rovers). I'll start you off with what I've got and hopefully you can paste on whatever you lot have got.

Hope this is of interest to some out there because I think it's fab :D

here's your starter for 10

This is the last 827 still owned by the Metropolitan Police. as you can see it has a later style dash with airbag but the old 2.7 Honda engine.

This is a lovely car an is the one I could possibly get for shows/rallies etc.

This next 827 was the last one I drove on a Pilot course on a fast run up to coventry. Unfortunatly she never made it as the gear box went. My operator smiling in the piccy was a huge mercedes fan so wonder just what he is doing there :? Its a shame as it was immaculate inside and had lots of toys and gizmos to play with being a training vehicle. I never saw it again :cry:

Image

This last piccy is one you all recognise and was taken at TDH. The nasty horrible userper is lurking behind it
:P I don't like Omega's :P :P

Image

Hope you find all these interesting and feel free to add your own. I have a couple more photographs to scan in so will show them in due course.

With bonus 800 Coupe in the background left of the pic, you can just see the back end of it. I wonder of that was Brad? :lol:

Image

One of my 2.7 Sterlings also has an airbag dash, they were available on post-95 800s that still came with 2.7s. Not a popular dash here, which is one of the reasons I'm not changing it.

good spot

Post by TDHFastback » Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:19 pm

Well I never Lord Sterling. I never saw that as every time I looked at the piccy I just saw the 827. This photo was taken in 1999 when 800s were still being sold.
Nice one

Kate :D

Is that a grey steering wheel airbag?!!! Compared to the steering wheel it is much lighter and compared to the dash it's almost the same. Never seen that.

I do like an 800 in uniform :wink:

I like the way they just kind of stuck the hazard light button back in place after making it homeless!

Post by TDHFastback » Wed Nov 17, 2010 8:32 am

Hi guys. Couple more piccys to drool over. I love the mk1 at Hyde park corner. It gives me goosebumps just looking at it (i've got a copy of this in a frame on the wall). Enjoy.

Those wheels on the Mk1 look fab.

Kate :D

Post by TDHFastback » Wed Nov 17, 2010 9:27 am

These were taken when the classic fleet went to Hampton court for a photo shoot. Have included the SD1 so you can see how similar the shape is compared to our beloved 827. (I prefer the 827 :wink: )

Super eh.

Kate :D

ps must say a big thank you to all those at TDT who took this last set of photos and who I have pestered over time to keep looking at their 827. Thanks for your patience.

As you can see all my piccys are from the Met. Anyone got any pictures of 'county mounty' 800's?

As requested, I have moved this to the Articles and Archives section as it serves a better purpose here and is certainly easier to find.
