black and white pandas

Post by moggiethouable »

The only ex police vehicles I have seen are all powder blue and white, but I keep seeing the black and white model version in toy shops?

Most forces used the blue or blue and white. Lancashire used black and white, although the white of the models is not really the correct shade. Non panda cars were used for general transport, and could by almost any colour. Prior to Panda, Northamtonshire used all white cars for similar work. Once you start digging, there is no standard and lots of variation!

Sheffield's Panda cars were all white apparently. Obviously a thrifty Yorkshire money saving exercise.... :)
