Police fixtures, including what I thought was double wing mirrors, but is actually a blue light - http://www.flickr.com/photos/triggerscarstuff/7528127068/ . Lancashire police started using MGs in 1932 with J2 Midgets and continued the tradition through until the mid-60s with several MGBs (as modelled by Vanguards LC1003 - Link to "www.ehattons.com" ) so the black MGA as pictured is genuine.

Lancashire, in the north of England, the police having convertibles. Does that seem wise? The California police doesn't have convertibles.

^ NTC series in the photo so very close.

Well, Britain is indeed the European country with the highest average amount of Convertibles in traffic, so why not for the police, too? ;)
In Germany a few VW Cabriolets appeared there in the 50ies, but that ws it (except as toy-models and in movies, sure).

In Germany some other Cabriolets existed in police-usage, too, but all civil cars. They were cars, confiscated from criminals or distrained from people, who couldn't pay penalties or tax-debts any more. Usually sold via auctions here: http://www.zoll-auktion.de/auktion/ (vehicles: Link to "www.zoll-auktion.de" ), but via local police-auctions, too.

Some of those cars the authorities keep for their own purpose. So for example the special forces, the SEK's and the GSG9, too have a good choice of sports and supersports cars, Porsche Carrera, Ferrari, Dodge Viper and so on. Most are from jailed drug-dealers, but from overindebted people, too.
