Staffordshire Police Jaguar Set in White (1:43 scale)
- This set contains a Jaguar Mk 2 3.8 & a Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 4.2.
 Staffordshire Police had a long association with Jaguar whose Coventry factory was not too far away from their southern border. Powerful,  fast &,  especially in XJ6 form,  possessed of an almost otherworldly handling & ride,  which Jaguar’s engineers had honed on the world’s race circuits,  they were ideally suited to highspeed motorway patrol work; not many cars could outrun a Jaguar. Following the tragic death of two officers who were struck whilst getting out of their vehicle at the scene of an accident,  Staffordshire Police pioneered a number of innovations in officer safety that are now standard on motorway patrol vehicles. These were mainly focused on alerting other motorists to the fact that an accident had occurred & included a specially built box on the roof of their vehicles containing rearward facing flashing red lights & a large illuminated ‘accident’ sign. Car boots were also painted in a high visibility red,  & all cars were fitted with reflective Police signs.
