Strange, when i went for a test drive in a Cupra on the outskirts of london (Cheshunt), the dealer said that he had sold 6 or 7 and from memory at least 5 of them were to police for personal use i thought!

Saw the old shape Leon Cupra on the M42 end of last year but not seen any Leon since in the midlands, but I suppose thats the idea being unmarked :lol:

Saw a black mk 2 Leon screaming down the M56 in Manchester yesterday, had the blues and twos going.

Strob Lights in foglamps and sunvisors.

Think it may be a "drug rozzer" not a "traffic rozzer":help::help:

It was on full tilt as well:funk:

Last year in Tenerife saw a Police Patrol car - I think it was an FR as it had the dual-exit exhuast with chrome tip bits, but no FR as the battenburg and "La Policia" logos all over it. I remember to snap a pic as it whizzed past but just caught the tail end.

We have supplied 2 Leon FR TFSI's which have been remapped to be used as unmarked cars for Northumbria. Brisa Blue and Zenith so watch out.

That's the one sponsored by Kings Seat. They also provide a fully marked Altea Fourtrack as support vehicle/paramedic response car for the Air Ambulance, based at Thruxton.

Back to first post have recently been been seeing quite a few unmarked cars tooling around not fully covert as with traffic plod, with but equipped with discrete, or mini lightbars including:- a Leon FR, Volvo V70 and some BMW 325Ds.

Possibly, Serious Organised Crime Agency who have an outpost in our neck of the woods, or even the Borders and Immigration Agency who have got some beefed up powers since April and may be allowed blues and two's these days.

With the smaller LED light bars it makes it more difficult to spot them anyway. You could normally see them a mile off with the big light bars but these new ones (even the fully liveried cars) look like any normal car with a roof rack from a distance. I know round Preston they have Mercs Range Rovers and a golf V6 4Motion all unmarked!
