VA10805 Ford Capri 3.0S Sussex Police

post-1069-1238687521_thumb.jpg

Sussex Police have a long tradition of using sporting cars in their traffic division and these have included Mk1 and Mk2 Lotus Cortinas, MGB GTs, Triumph Dolomite Sprints and Ford Capris. The traffic car modelled is a Mk3 Capri in late model 3.0S form, one of the last Essex V6 engined cars, which were replaced in 1981 by the Cologne engined 2.8i V6 model. This car was restored to Police livery by a serving Sussex Police officer several years ago.

 

VA10011 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 1991 Ulster Rally Winner, Bertie Fisher and Rory Kennedy

post-1069-1238687771_thumb.jpg

The reigning Irish Tarmac Rally Champion, Bertie Fisher from Fermanagh, started the 1991 Ulster Rally facing opposition from Russell Brookes Sierra Cosworth 4x4 and Colin McRaes Subaru Legacy. Fisher ended day one third behind McRae and Brookes. On day 2, by Carran stage 16, Bertie had nearly two minutes in hand. McRae tried to make up his deficit, but broke a wheel and eventually retired, leaving Fisher to take a well deserved victory.

REF: VA06517 Rover 3500 V8S (P6) (Paprika)

post-1069-1243695822_thumb.jpg

It was obvious from its launch that Rovers 2000 could easily handle more power. The company finally addressed this in April 1968 and installed their mellifluous sounding aluminium 3.5-litre V8. However, no sufficiently refined manual gearbox could be sourced so the car was only available as an automatic until October 1971, when the V8S, modelled here, was announced. The manual gearbox was a strengthened version of Rovers own four-speed unit, with shot-peened gears, tougher layshaft bearings and an oil pump. It transformed the P6, finally turning it into the sports saloon it had always threatened to be, eight years after the original cars launch.

 

REF: VA10804 Ford Capri Mk3 3.0S 1978 British Saloon Car Championship Winner, 3-Litre Class, Gordon Spice

post-1069-1243695913_thumb.jpg

From 1975, the 3-litre Capri dominated the BSCC and Gordon Spice racked up 26 victories, winning the class every year from 1975 to 1980. In 1978, driving the 220bhp 3.0S modelled, he took 6 wins out of 12 races. Ford gained fantastic publicity from the Capris success, so when the MK3 was announced in March 1978, and free update kits were issued to the series leading protagonists, which gave their existing Mk2 Capris the up-to-date look and performance. The car modelled started life as a Mk2.

 

REF: VA10505 Triumph TR7 V8 1978 RAC Rally, 4th Place, Tony Pond and Fred Gallagher

post-1069-1243696006_thumb.jpg

The TR7 V8 was homologated for international rallying on April 1, 1978 and hopes were high. However, a last minute decision not to disconnect the cable handbrake in favour of the hydraulic one meant that Pond lost time on day 1 when the mechanism jammed in a wheel. Thereafter, Pond, the one driver who really came to terms with the 300bhp TR7 V8, stormed back though the field to finish 4th, the highest placed non Ford Escort a great drive in rallying history.

 

REF: VA09711 Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon Royal Mail, Glenshee

post-1069-1243696099_thumb.jpg

Thirty-five miles north-west of Dundee and fifteen miles south of Braemar, in the heart of the Cairngorms, lies Glenshee; well known as a ski resort in itself, its environs also offer attractions as diverse as mountain biking, golf, walking, climbing, clay pigeon shooting and of course the Cairngorms National Park. However it comes as no surprise that the postal service of this beautiful mountainous region uses a vehicle that can be depended on to deliver the post when no other could; a 1993 Land Rover Defender.

 

REF: VA10605 Morris J2 Minibus Metropolitan Police SPG

post-1069-1243696195_thumb.jpg

The Metropolitan Police Special Patrol Group (SPG) was set up in 1970 and was a task group specifically designed to be capable of delivering a large number of officers to any part of the capital at short notice and as quickly as possible. Their role being to assist local officers at major incidents or events. This could be anything from a missing person search to riot control or the aftermath of any disaster such as a factory fire. The BMC J2 was the first vehicle that the SPG used; they were later replaced by Ford Transits.

 

REF: VA00129 Ford Anglia 105E 1959 RAC Rally, Ladies Trophy Winner, Anne Hall and Patsy Burt

post-1069-1243696312_thumb.jpg

The 1959 RAC rally was the first year of Jack Kemsleys time in charge. He increased the emphasis on special stages and moved the date to November, which resulted in a tougher event badly affected by blizzard conditions in Scotland. Although famously won by Burgess/Croft-Pearson Ford Zephyr Mk2, the event also marked the international rally debut of Fords Anglia 105E. Of the four Anglias entered, the highest placed, was the car modelled here, in which Ann Hall and Patsy Burt won the Ladies Prize and finished 20th overall, a remarkable performance for a car of only 997cc.

 

REF: VA09613 Range Rover West Yorkshire Police

post-1069-1243696417_thumb.jpg

The Range Rover has been used by nearly every Police force in the UK since it was launched in 1970, as its combination of speed, power, strength and accommodation make it ideal for motorway patrol work. The vehicle modelled is used by West Yorkshire Police to patrol the motorways in their area and has a tow bar fitted to increase its versatility, as, for instance, it allows the rapid moving of broken down vehicles if they have stopped in a dangerous position. It is also fitted with a stolen vehicle tracker unit, a powerful weapon for the locating of stolen cars.

 

REF: VA11002 Ford Escort XR3i Cambridgeshire Police

post-1069-1243696511_thumb.jpg

The Mk3 Ford Escort formed the backbone of many police forces section car fleets throughout the 1980s. However, its performance derivative, the XR3i, was relatively rare with only a limited number of forces utilising its performance as an urban traffic car. The Cambridgeshire Force used the vehicle modelled here, as they often travelled on long straight fenland roads where power was as important as manoeuvrability. They even retained its signature telephone dial alloy wheels.

LAN180004 RAF Land Rover

post-1069-1243699724_thumb.jpg

The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force acquired and maintained smaller Land Rover fleets. They were used for communications, liaison, personnel transport and airfield tractor duties. The British Army tested the 80-inch (2,000 mm) Series I Land Rover almost as soon as it was launched in 1948. Some of these were initially modified, even creating an 81 inch wheelbase.
