Didn't get a photo cause it was overtaking me and didn't want to get done for using my phone. It had all the usual police gizmos on it, no stripes on front and tailgate rear with glazed window, thats all I managed to see. Was in Pollockshields area when I seen it, I'm that way again next week so ill keep my eyes peeled and try and get a photo. :)

strathclyde police "DO" not have a sportvan or one of transit in there fleet :(
they do have a "hot merc vito" :roll: they only have connect and minibus vans in the fleet
the assistant transport manager checked it himself...........
but he said it could be a ford one off van doing the rounds with police forces :wink:

Yeh the vehicle manufacturers and fitters sometimes make up demo cars/vans with generic "POLICE" livery (instead of naming the force), doubt they'd be allowed to take them on the road though :?


Sure it wasn't a vito you seen scotty? :lol:
