Unluckily it is not possible to count the bars. But the Police perferred the six cylinder car, therefore 6/80 is most likely.

It's likely to turn up in a later episode, so I will look out for a better picture of the front.

Jezza ◊ 2008-10-08 17:39	As a 6/80 owner, I can confirm this is a Wolseley 4/50 with the narrower grille.
