Yeah however they have to display a tax disc which is ridiculous

I've seen 2011 Transits with rust around the doors and particularly around the shocks which is why most are scrapped. They are well known for it since the 90's at least.

it's a wonder the Mondeo doesnt suffer the same problem.

Whatever about the doors - at least you can take those off and replace them

- rust around the shocks on a 2011 vehicle is woeful.

That's the sort of thing Datsuns and Fiat had a bad name for back in the 70s :rolleyes:

Youd think Ford would have copped on a bit.

Incidentally - on the motors forum yesterday - someone put up a post with a link to a video featuring someones VW Pheaton - a TOP OF THE RANGE luxury car - 2 years old - with rust on doors and sills.

I thought no more transits were gonna be bought for the Garda?

I notice the Army don't have tax discs any more, just the Army logo on a sticker along with the unit ID

Hardly think revenue need a car like that? Surely a focus or Hyundai would have done. Like the Guard have to use...

flazio

Looks like it is a GARDA car with the Garda word and Crest replaced with Revenue and the number, certainly the chevrons and the yellow and blue stripe look Garda issue.

Sorry to post again but it's on a different topic, does anybody know if the Insignia estates have extra blues for when the tail is open?
Just look at what it looks like on a civilian car. notice the extra rear lights and indicators

If I'm looking at that right, they paid more for the astras per unit then the suburbs 2wd ?

I think thats the Antara they paid more for.

£100,000 for an armoured Insignia. And they bought 40 of them. Goes to show they're not out of the woods in NI just yet.

You just have to look at the news from up there each week to see they are far from being clear yet.

DesertCreat_15

Worst thing is, armored BMW's are cheaper per unit than an Insignia!!!

They'll get years out of that van if it's just for community work..
