Seen only in last 10 minutes of episode but has a dramatic chase pursued by /vehicle.php?id=603200 and crash into a pile of pallets. Plate check and rear badge without trim letter give the Base ID - why buy a Base and then add a vinyl roof??.

Despite looking a total wreck before the chase started it survived for a couple of years after filming. OK the crash was unconvincingly gentle, but the chase was apparently no-holds-barred and would have been fairly destructive ...

Dents or rust on the roof. And people in the late seventies and eighties loved their vinyl roofs anyway.
