How unusual for a 2000 to be a Police car??

I think in the early eighties the 2000 was the standard British police car, at least for high speed pursuit work.

I thought most forces used the 3500 V8?

Yes the Buick V8 would have been better suited for traffic car use.

The British police would use even smaller, less powerful cars for panda patrol [suburban policing] to assist foot patrol officers. Panda patrol cars came 'sans' flashing lights & siren. Usually having just a taxi-style sign that lit-up on the roof decaled POLICE. Panda cars are sort of comparable to cars used today by North American city police for parking patrol.

The 2000 SDI above was probably used for traffic patrol on major urban routes [not expressways/motorways(?)] Probably beefed-up under the hood or at least thought sufficient
for those type of roads.

It would probably have a deterrent effect. An SD1 in 'jam sandwich' livery would spell police - and the potential baddies wouldn't care too much what was under the bonnet.
