British police suit up with Ford Mustang GTs

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...mage=100556246




British police cars aren't exactly known for their style, but the country's rozzers do tend to select something with a little more oomph than many other European countries. Typical police cruisers have included turbocharged Volvo XC70 and BMW 330d wagons lately, but the police have also used Land Rovers in the past.

The Mustang under consideration in the U.K. is a V-8-powered GT, a model that went on sale late last year and has done well in that market now that it is finally offered as a factory right-hand-drive model.

Yeah, they'll drive one around for a bit, and then reject it due to some transmission issue, like Australia did recently.

As I understand it, they had the ONE unit, and burned it up... why I don't know, in regards to just one unit, immediately saying 'no thanks', or whatever. Sounds like they never wanted it and burned it up to get it outta the competition... And wouldn't take any replacements either.

We shall see what happens here, I'm sure.

The Mustang was not designed for police duty. If they want one for that, they should talk to Ford before hand on setting up an Interceptor model. Most likely, they had another model in mind and were told to test the Mustang. Fail it, and buy the one they wanted to begin with.

So,.....I was wondering if this was going to happen!!! LOL
It finally did. They emailed me back about the GT500. It's been about 6 days or so. Too funny.
