'Emergency vehicle ' stripes - yellow/blue band - used on civilian vehicle, no law about using these stripes on non-emergency vehicles ( the reflective blue on it would be illegal ) ??0 -

That Focus from the front.
Bit odd - The 'GARDA' font is thinner and the stripes are two thin ones together, compare with a 'real' Focus. Liveried up by Ford themselves or .... Maybe the 'fogs' are blue strobes ??

The markings are usually done in the depot I believe. Still liked those light bars though.

See what I'm saying though, the 'GARDA' is different and too high on the bonnet compared to 'standard spec'
Wonder how these 'Federales' would handle FJR's :rolleyes:

Two for the museum - http://cars.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/2-cortinas/9784449?offset=3 used in some 80's movie, a lot of spec mistakes but maybe some movie goers don't worry about the little things
