Ford Cortina Mk IV 1.6L (Herts Police) in Blue (1:43 scale)
- All five generations of Cortina gave sterling service to many Police forces during the model’s twenty year production life, which ended in 1982. The car modelled, a 1979 1.6L, registered GAR 638T, was used by the Hertfordshire Constabulary as a Divisional Area Car & was based at Hitchin Police Station. In common with other Hertfordshire Constabulary vehicles it carried dual roof mounted spotlights as well as the equipment required to deal with a variety of emergency situations. All the constabulary’s Divisional Area Cars were ordered in blue to distinguish them from the force’s traffic patrol units, which were white.
