I was on my way into Wakefield the other morning after the 'school-run' when a semi-familiar shape was behind me as I pulled out of the school.
It was an armoured 110 :shock:

I'd been told that West Yorkshire Police had some, in fact that every force in the country had to 'be prepared' (I think it was -but don't quote me- Bob Morrison, on 'LRNet.com')
Any way they're apparantly ex-Ireland vehicles & V8's

It certainly heeled over as it negotiated the roundabout to join the dual-carriageway back up to the force workshop.
Well, I guess that's where it was heading, as I've followed one up there before to the gates

'Grab-shot', so apolgies for quality

Saw that, think it was last Tuesday, 'bout mid afternoon heading towards J41, my son's comment (he's just got a Defender 300Tdi) was, well at least someone's gonna get less mpg then me  :wink:

Not seen it around before that I can remeber, but I'd hate to have to winch that one out of a muddy hole  :roll:

I'm give nt ounderstand that they bought them in case of 'urban unrest', another outbreak similar to the Bradford riots
