Text from sales link above (dated November 2011) in case it disappears.:
"1983 Ford Granada Ghia X - Metropolitan Police Car For Sale
This 1983 Ford Granada 2.8 Ghia X was used in the Kudos TV production of Ashes to Ashes to represent a Metropolitan Police Granada . The car was used on several registration numbers to make it look like they had a few Police Granadas but it was only this one. The registrations used were DMH 590V, GFM 75X but mainly NSP 600X. This was also used and helps to intercept the bad guys on the final episode when it chases down the runway behind Gene Hunt's red Audi Quattro in the final scene where it is shot to pieces. The original registration also suits the car A40 WFT (Whisky Foxtrot Tango). The car was purchased from the company who supplied Kudos TV with cars for the programme and it came direct from Pinewood Studios. It was used in a few other programmes & films but I've still yet to find out what and get any proof. However I have got written proof from the production & studios that this is the one from Ashes to Ashes along with pictures as proof also. In October 2011 I had Corgi contact me and after a long chat plus several emails later Corgi decided to make a model of my car and an Ashes to Ashes box set. After talks it was agreed that the car goes on the registration that was used the most NSP 600X and this is now all official & on the Corgi website. The model will be released & on sale from May 2012. I have pictures and documents from the film studios to back this up and show this was the police Granada used. This is a nice 28 year old 1983 Ford Granada Ghia X in the markings of the Metropolitan Police Traffic Car. This was originally blue but was sprayed white and put in the police markings for the film studios. It's still blue under the bonnet & in the boot but everywhere else it was painted, I've not bothered to paint under the bonnet etc because I have pictures of it in the film studios showing it this way and wanted to keep it as it was for proof. This has electric windows x4, central locking, power Steering, CD player, alloy wheels and of course all the bits like police markings, police hat, handcuffs, lights & sirens etc. This has fully operational roof lights. There are also blue operational spot lights on front, all the police signs on the side, bonnet & boot are new 15 year vinyl stuck on and I've also got them in magnetics. The Police crests on the sides are also magnetic. The side stripes are new and professionally applied 15 year anti-fade stickers so in the future if you wanted to remove these you can. The tyres are all A1 and its interior is in fantastic condition, It has a brand new never-used tow-bar fitted as I was going to tow a small trailer to shows. The mileage is only 89,000 and it drives A1 with a beautiful engine and smooth gearbox."
