Lateef ◊ 2019-03-12 13:07	polit1 wrote Not so convincing fake Norwegian police car... It's not that bad at first glance. Would certainly trick the average Norwegian. But yes, not very convincing to us nerds. The stripes are the most fake-looking, being slapped on at an angle rather than being straight. The "Politi"-typeface and shield are wrong for the era, rather copying the one introduced in 1996, however the letters are still too far apart. The writing is also put in the wrong position on the hood. Lightbar is also wrong, too aerodynamic. To top it all off, 940s didn't see widespread use until about 1995 and they certainly did not use the chrome grille. A 240 would have been more correct. I am, however, astonished that they put a vehicle number on it - that's a detail the fakes usually leave out.

The last one in Sweden I've seen in service was in late 1997. It was a 245 K9 car.

Others serving with rural police departments and lensmenn were kept in active and semi-service much longer. In 2016, a 1993 model serving in Bruvoll, Hedmark, was finally retired and donated to the Volvo museum of Göteborg.
