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.

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!
