S525 has been spotted on the public highway
Yes, thats right, I have seen S525 OVP on the public highway, WOW, did she look good.
S525 was dressed in yellow/blue chequered livery and wearing a nice flashing blue strobe light on top......... Picture the scene, the SAS are fighting Al Qaeda in the italian embasey in London........but the Al Qaeda have left a massive bomb within a Renault panel van outside, and its going to explode in 30 mins..........along comes Ross kemp, he jumps into the van and drives it across London to some open land. The useless Police chief offers a police escort to ensure they get the van there... This is when you can see a delightful looking S525 OVP providing the said escort.......full police livery, strobe lights on top.........I did get a little excited at seeing her after all the talk about saving her... So, not only is she possibly the oldest surviving S plate R75, she is also a TV star !!!!! My question is, Was she sub-contracted to a film crew at some point ? How did ITV get hold of her ? What other shows was she used in ? The program you need to watch is 'Ultimate Force' Series 3, Episode 3 The class of 1980 (wake me up inside) It was shown originally in 2005 I am sure someone on here can get hold of the episode to attach the show/download some screen shots of S525 OVP in action. |

If someone can get hold of the episode, its approx 1hr 20 mins into it, right towards the end...
But what else has S525 been used for............ let the search begin Has anyone got any contacts within ITV to see who booked the car and where from |
