I know a guy who's dad was the chief driving instructor at Hendon Police police station in the 50's and 60's (he also did a couple of Mote Carlo rallies in a Wolseley I think) and he was saying how they also used Daimler 250's (Darts) and Sunbeam Tigers. I also seem to remeber that the odd E Type (fixed head) was used as a high speed Motorway pursuit car.

It is genuine! There is a video clip of the presentation and the car in use on YouTube. I have also heard reports of it actually being used in highspeed chases.

You're either at Le Mans, or waiting for Le Mans!

Early '70s on my way to the French GP at Cleremont Ferrand when a Healey 3000 went tearing past hotly persued by an Alpine Renault. Flashing lights, siren going and painted light blue with " Gendarme" written on the side!! First time I'd seen one, and boy did it look good with all that neg camber on the rear. I never saw them again so no idea who won!!

Always go into a corner too fast, in case it turns out to be a quick one!
