 Looks like this one again:

Movie/TV fake as most police Focuses were CL or LX.

 Arnold Clark at South St in Glasgow had a fleet of fake police cars for film rental - especially silver or white Volvo estates, but lots of other stuff. Part of the fleet was specially reserved, but some of the miscellaneous things were ordinary rental porridge which they kept back instead of the usual shift-it-to-auction system after 6-12 months hire use, and then liveried them up as police cars.

 Interesting, I never realised they were involved with that. Found a section on their website: http://www.arnoldclarkrental.com/film-tv

Quote Due to our involvement with crime series such as Taggart and Rebus we have authentic prop police cars which we can provide, we can also provide vans specially converted to carry camera equipment. Download our Police Cars PDF.

We work closely with both the BBC and STV and provided a wide range of cars. Recent productions we have been involved with include: Waterloo Road, Shameless, River City, Merlin, World War Z and Cloud Atlas.


With something like this (a four/five year old Focus), it was probably a part-ex they ended up stuck with (this is before white cars were fashionable).

 They had a big yard area in a demolished shipyard on the other side of South St from the big Arnold Clark Ford/Mazda showroom which was used for vehicle storage and the hire-car return cabins, and the "police" Volvos, Transits and whatever else were usually parked alongside. Site was cleared again a few years ago when Tesco bought it for a megastore - now cancelled - so all the hire facilities went further west down South St to a new site. But I don't remember seeing the "police" fleet there.

When I first moved to Glasgow in early 1990s and started hiring from Arnold Clark, my local depot was the showroom at 24 Vinicombe St - the oldest surviving showroom in Scotland and possibly Scotland's first multi-storey car park - http://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/ref_no/3076 , Link to "urbanglasgow.co.uk" - a very impressive building with a lot of surviving period features. Future still unknown.
