Great article. SP250s always make me think of police cars.

They make me think of the 'Yesterdays Dreams' Model T.
Great looking little Hemi.

Edit: Just found this: 'Bedfordshire police used the SP250 for M1 motorway patrol'
I never knew that.

Nice to see a bit of colour amongst the blandness of today’s vehicles in the car park.
Always liked Corvette C3’s in Orange.
