Ford Cortina Mk3 2000cc Police patrol car

Couldn't resist putting this on the blog. Mansfield Police Station yard 1973, my previous posting (Traffic Dept.) before going to the dogs!  Thanks to Tony Parkin for this one.

Just a shame it isn't a photo RNN 626L I couldn't break it. I tried everything so that I could swap it for the new Triumph Dolomite Sprint and didn't succeed! If Ford had known I'm sure they could have used my efforts in their advertising.
In the background is the petrol pump. To issue petrol you had to go into the station, get the key for the pump. Draw the petrol, lock it back up, take the key back and sign the petrol issue sheet. Because so many Officers forgot to take the key back, it was finally secured to a chair leg. The biggest key ring on record.
