    Merlin Car Auctions regularly includes Garda Vehicles.

    (Do you intend to buy an ex Garda car or vehicles which have been confiscated, impounded, stolen etc.?)

    I think www.wilsonsauctions.com also do, though I may be wrong.

    Just take the lights and stickers off and go around like the Blue Brothers, but not a cool.

    :D I'd assume though that all the equipment (lights and stickers included) would be removed prior to sale? Otherwise people would be buying them and shooting down bus lanes/parking illegally etc :p

    I remember when they auctioned off a load of An Post vans they left the stickers on. Presume they'd take them off the Garda cars!

    I know a few guys in Cork City have ex-city council pick ups with the livery still in place. They have been parking about the place randomly for a while now and are getting away with it fine.
