Wonder what happened to the Police J4 van ? |

The VW is still alive. It stands in the "ZeitHaus" of the "AutoStadt" in Wolfsburg. |

What about the green Bullitt beetle? -- Last edit: 2014-03-19 16:45:04 |

There is a 1967 Reliant Regal Supervan III in front (the way it's facing) of the 1500, and a Triumph Herald (?) behind the van -- Last edit: 2025-12-30 23:28:50 |

^ Pale blue on left not a Reliant, but a Herald estate - however it's not a bad guess. Beyond the police van, first one unclear but my guess is Mk1 Escort Estate, then another Escort. |

^ There is text on the first 'Escort' where there shouldn't be, so it is not an Escort Also, the pale blue one has 3 wheels from underneath the car, where there seems to be a spot in the middle more tyre-coloured than its shadow, so likely a Regal 3/25. -- Last edit: 2025-12-31 10:05:28 |

Pale blue on right definitely not a Reliant 3/25. Rear lamps too deep, full width rear window, and chrome rear bumper. -- Last edit: 2026-01-01 12:41:18 |

Agree with Escort Mk1 estate. Most likely in Ford Anchor Blue in that period. The enormous "badge" is no such thing: it is a a swage line. |
