    Haha your right, but I have no idea who owns it. But can categorically confirm it's not an ags vehicle.

    Can you elaborate on what agency you think it belongs too as I’m thinking you have the wrong car that I stated. I’m very well aware of the unit the car I quoted is attached too and who was driving it on the day in question. Please take into careful consideration I was in front of it in an i40 as we were going to the same incident.

    This insignia has confirmed AGS. We won’t go to much detail due to nature of the role.

    I was told a story that there is 2 armoured AGS vehicles and if you try to cartell them it comes up blocked.

    Would such a story be true?

    It’s very rare that if you run the reg of special units car and get an accurate result especially of cartell, that would be an operational disaster.

    I remember back in the dark ages, during the Free Legal aid strike, Crime Task force in Cork had a Rover on UK plates (falsies). Ideal for sneaking up disused lanes, and pretending you were a lost tourist....
    It reached peak usefulness at an altercation in a New Age traveller camp site, when reinforcements were called in from nearby stations, and CTF arrived in the UK car. Fight died down, but CTF remained standing by, didn't get involved.
    Crusties panicked, thought it was the HM constabulary popping by to serve a few outstanding warrants. Most departed the location within 24 hours, just in case.

    2 observations on my travels today.

    That or one like it 201 Insignia estate came up behind me this morning southbound on M11. Very much AGS and in fairness very well lit up. My compliments to the fit out crew on that.

    Northbound M11 this afternoon went past a 201 Tucson. Thought nothing of it until it went past me and I noticed the Tetra aerial. Very stealthy! No visible LEDs in the back, no dash mount in the front. You had to look quite closely to notice the side repeaters. Decent pull on it as well. I was tipping along around 110kph when it decided to go past me.

    The aerials are the only obvious signs on those Tucson's. I see they all seem to have rear tinted windows, looks very well.

    Around Kilmainham they have an unmarked i40 but looks so high spec you'd find it hard to notice it was a patrol car. It's a very unusual blue colour, flashing blues from the fog lamps and alloys..

    It’s the executive spec i40 few around

    I think the tuscon facelift black grill isn’t as unnoticeable like the 191

    Little bit of black tint on the casing would help, they are very noticeable.....

    Lights could easily be fitted inside the window from sides and back.
    Strobes in rear light clusters and front also,

    Spoke to my local postie about them recently, he says they are very light on the road, but when they inevitably break down, they are easier to fix, than most vans, and you aren't off the road long.

    Would still prefer a transient though.

    Saw an unmarked had pulled over a car on the M50 the other day.

    Looked like a navy Toyota Corolla or Camry. Does such a car exist or did I see something else?

    Well lit up with hidden LEDs

    1. Cheapest.
    2. Do I play golf with the distributor.
    ends.

    The Holden was some act to follow. I'm surprised they didn't go down the SUV route. The Superb has a massive boot though. You'd easily fit 3 bodies in the boot.
