F819 LOO A Ford Granada 2.9 4×4 that is in preservation. It is one of eight such cars that Ford produced and trialled in various police forces. The car shown was loaned to Wiltshire Constabulary in 1988 and was retired in 1991.



The car has many various changes from the standard model, the most noticeable being the aerodynamic casing for the roof-mounted lights. This was revolutionary but ultimately unsuccessful due to the increased cost.



A closer look at the special roof. The centre square flips up to display different messages to traffic behind. The appropriate message from a fixed selection is placed onto the vertical surface.

The camera as seen from the inside. If required, it can be moved to point out of the side door instead.



A 360 degree view is captured by numerous additional cameras. This helps to record motorbike’s rear registration plates and other driving misdemeanours.

The freshly-washed car. With its 1.2 litre turbo diesel engine, the car is described by its driver as sluggish. This is particularly apparent when trying to make progress on a blue light run on winding country roads. It has a very low mileage for a police car due to its unpopularity with officers.
