WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE POLICE CAR?

I had a few police cars as a kid. I remember revving the friction drive of the white plastic Z car that came in a neat box based on the TV show. I also like the small blue Lesney American police car with fins at the back like the Z car, It could have been a Cadillac or an Impala - before Superfast anyway. It may have even been a Husky brand.

There will have been simple plastic police cars too like Blue Box and Lucky brands, which were everywhere, but I just can't remember them.

I do recall more solid fayre like the German Polizei VW, which was green and white and the blue and white Ford Anglia, that classic Panda [not sure why it was called a Panda].

Without doubt though, my own favourite was the Dinky Ford Transit van Accident Unit. I adored that chunky white van and played with it constantly, adoringly setting up the street furniture on my bedroom carpet. There were two or three traffic cones and an elevating camera on a pole in the roof. I don't think there was a policeman.

But by far the best accessory were the two Police Slow street signs in blue with white lettering. Setting those two things up was pure heaven. Storing them was fab too, as they slotted neatly into a rack in the rear of the van. Blimey, that takes me back.

What was your fave toy cop car readers? Any memories? Pictures welcomed.
