Have the Gardai preserved any former service vehicles?

    I can remember the distinct sound of a Garda Triumph T650P, CX500, 500/4 back in the 70ies & 80ies. I am curious to know have the Gardai preserved any of these vehicles including cars etc or have they all being destroyed as movie props?

    The Garda Traffic Corp had a mint Honda 500/4 complete with blue lights and Garda markings and radio on display at the bike show in the RDS last week. Sweet looking machine.

    They were a great bike and as reliable as the GT550, as far as I can remermber they had a mechanical worm drive to the siern from the gear box.

    I also remember the Skerries Classic Bike Run about three years ago where a lad on a 1960's Garda Triumph came along, another mint genuine Garda bike, I think I might have a photo of it somewhere, there was hardly a blemish on it.
