Metropolitan Police Range Rover (M751 CVC)

            1994 Range Rover 4.0 V8 Vogue SE

Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. However, the local constabulary usually attempt to make up for it.

For a few years Northamptonshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) had a brilliant display of vehicles on show for the spectators. 

This year's offering was put on by Northamptonshire, Staffordshire and, surprisingly, the Metropolitan Police forces. Although smaller than usual there were still some nice things on show.

Amongst a number of vehicles parked up alongside the old start/finish straight was this preserved Metropolitan Police Range Rover.

One of the earliest second-generation (P38A) examples the car was originally one of six police demonstartor vehicles that did the rounds with various police forces across the country.

It was puchased outright by the Metropolitan Police in 1997 and assigned to the Special Escort Group.

The car's most high profile role was being a part of the official funeral procession for the late Princess Diana.

In fact, if you look a clip of the procession on Youtube this particular car is the first police car following the hearse and the only one without battenburg livery.

Now in preservation with over 179,000 miles on the clock the car can be seen at many car shows and looked fantastic in the early morning sunshine.
