This is the first police-spec Jaguar XF – bound to an orderly life of patrolling the motorways around the Midlands area encircling Jaguar’s HQ. The local constabulary has bought seven 271bhp 3.0-litre Diesel S models in police trim.
What’s changed to make the XF a police car?
Not much out of the ordinary. It’s much easier to spot than a demarked police car, with its roof bar, LED flashers in the grille and refletive decals galore.
It’s ironic that Jags used to be the getaway vehicle of choice in the 50s, 60s and 70s in films of a certain bent; now Jaguar has gone good and supplying Plod himself.
