ISTR that the SPG of the Met Police had a few of those.

I am a retired ambulance technician (27yrs) with Greater Manchester, we
used to have the v8 sherpa's. It did 6mpg but you knew where it was
going!! On Saturday nights you'd get the idiots out cruising and you
would leave them for 'dead' so to speak. You could out accelerate a
Golf GTi from a standing start and their faces would be a picture. I
was clocked on the M6 at 122.7mph. The only problem at speeds above
50mph was stopping the f*****g things.

Mail your postal address to [email protected] and I'll post it

Cost - a fiver to the Lifeboats when you're next passing a collecting tin.
OK?

Due to unforseen problems with the tape I wonder if anyone else
videoed this show and is willing to let me have a copy?
