That the British police have been driving with MG as patrol cars since time immemorial, but also Wolseley, Jaguar, Morris en Mini were among the favorites, the Triumph 2000 en 2500 Saloon was also deployed, it appeared for the Law enforcement Triumph TR4 little interest to exist ... The police Triumph TR4 has indeed been used. Complete with hardtop, as can be seen in this photo from the old box. In the background you can see a Foden S20 6 × 4 'tractor' - such a thing was equipped with a 280 hp Rolls-Royce engine, coupled to a twelve-speed gearbox - which, on a trailer, had an extremely long (and heavy ) construction as its load. The picture, as written in pencil on the back, was taken in Manchester in 1964. This can also be deduced - and confirmed - from the police's license plate Triumph. The agent next door probably gives 'departing instructions' to the eager Triumph driver. The street has been cleared. Only a Morris Minor 'split window' has remained. The Ford Anglia 105E in the background too. As you can see from the clutter on the derelict terrain on the right, the dated and dreary factory building must have suffered the loss ...?
