Solihull Police Station Open Day. (3/4)

West Midlands Fire Service Volvo FL Pump Rescue Ladder, BX10 JYN (76) which is based at Solihull Fire Station.







Preserved Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group (S014) Range Rover, M751 CVC, a very early 4.0 SE production vehicle, it was originally a Police Demonstrator and it's most famous moment was escorting the funeral cortege of Princess Diana before being decommissioned in 1992. 



Preserved Staffordshire Police Jaguar XJ6 4.0 PS, the PS (Police Special) was a version of the XJ6 built exclusively for Police use and was actually badged as such. It started life as the staff car for Staffordshire's Chief Constable before being transferred to the traffic car fleet where the rear seats were taken out when it was used as a traffic car as the boot was not big enough to accommodate the kit that was carried. The seats were later reinstated so the vehicle could be used to carry detainees and was retired in 1996/97.
