Heh! Thats a proper 'sleeper'.

You could have some fun at the traffic lights with the BMW crowd with that!

Is that not the model that top gear tested and said it was silly fast in a straight line BUT suffered from understeer so bad that it made the car down right dangerous.

yeah but i wonder what a police spec car would be like? If i had the money.... but then i would probably buy a v8 zt

Notable that they don't show the interior. If it's like most ex police cars the seats, especially the drivers seat, will be ripped to shreds (their utility belts make a real mess of them).

Police spec (in this case) means the most basic possible model but then the VXR engine & brakes. And yes, that means cloth seats...

Unfortunately, police cars are not that special underneath.

(although the ex-police e39 530d's look like fantastic value for someone whos modding them anyway...)

sounds good to me!
Just get an old leather interior for a vectra (plenty about)
suppose it would mean it is lighter too

Departed 32016 · 13th May 2011, 12:38

scrap that! it does have leather and climate apparently- im getting some photos emailed to me of the interior- they have just reduced the car to £3000 too

I've been in one or two police vxrs, they are stupidly quick, they get to 130 at an almost indecent rate and handling isn't as bad as top gear might have you believe. Ours are very basic inside, but still have climate control etc.

Apparently when driven in anger ours can do a tank of fuel in 140 miles! hence why we are getting more and more diesels.......this is a serious bit of kit for little money if you can afford the fuel
