Thx for the description..... Cheers from Toulouse ..
Being a Renault they also branded the Vivaro/ Trafic as a Nissan Primastar too.
Also the Met loved the SD1 so much they stock piled them after BL stop production so you can find them on fairly late plates like 'E' registration for example. Also seeing as Met had to buy British this also made the decision easier I'd imagine.
Wrong on the Transit, it’s a mk5 ‘smiley’.. 5th gen
Rover 3500, SDI and MGB GT V8 has a Buick V8 305 from the early 60's
I know little about cars, but I notice that the older police cars, instead of having the blue and yellow livery, had bright red stripes down their sides.
Which is why we used to call them "jam sandwiches"!
yes! hah I completely forgot about that
Also the small local patrol cars used to be known as panda cars due to their black and white livery.
The 'weird angular' car is a Rover SD1.
Sold from 1976 to 1986, the styling was inspired by the Ferrari Daytona.
Very innovative as a large 'executive' car, being a hatchback.
But used a tried and tested chassis layout.
It vies with the Vauxhall Senator for the title of Britain's greatest police car.
The police used the 3.5 V8 version, c.170hp and a fabulous soundtrack. Would easily rock along at 125mph.
The V8 engine was actually a Buick design that Rover bought the rights to in the early 1960s
The police loved it so much that some forces stockpiled them before production ended. Some were still on patrol as late as the mid-1990s.
The silver 'muscle car' is a Mk.1 Ford Granada, the brand's big sedan launched in 1974.
Very popular with the police in livery, and used by detectives.
Check out some chases from the TV show The Sweeney to see the Granada in action.
Possibly the SD1's finest hour?

2:44 It is an Opel Frontera and in the UK it is a Vauxhall Frontera .It was carried out in the IBC Vehicles company established in 1987, in which General Motors held 82% of the shares, and the Isuzu concern (in which GM had significant shares at that time) 18% of the shares. They are based on the design of the Japanese cars Isuzu Mu (3d) and Isuzu Mu Wizzard (5d). The Mu model in the USA and Canada was known as Isuzu Amigo (3d) and as Isuzu Rodeo (5d).
4:16 That's a Ford Transit! One of the most iconic vehicles in Britain. You definitely need to look more into Transits - that's a whole rabbit hole of its own. (Especially the insane Transit Supervans which I still think hold a world record or two).
9:30 Rover SD1. Very frequently seen as police cars back in the 80s.
And yes, you were right those were Vauxhalls.
For info on British cars too, another fact is you can identify the registration year and place of registration from the number plate sequence. Those with one letter then three numbers, then three letters are cars from 1983 to 2001, and are alphabetically sorted by year, A123 ABC would be 1983 due to the letter A, B123 ABC would be 1984 due to starting with the letter B, C123 ABC would be 1985 and so on. The three numbers and 3 letters are always random. The even older cars between 1963 and 1983 had this same sequence reversed, so a plate with three letters, three numbers and finally one letter stating the year of registration. Example ABC 123A, which would be 1963. Just for completeness, the letters I, O, Q and Z were not used as they looked too similar to numbers. From 2001, the number plates changed to 2 letters (code for town of registration), 2 numbers (year of registration), then 3 random letters. EXAMPLE - AX18 ABC, AX is code for Ipswich, 18 is the registration year 2018).
And then from 2001, the use or the letter Z came into use. Q was/ is only used for vehicles of undetermined age or kit cars but I think the use of Q plates is properly pretty rare now. 😊
Not quite accurate. Last 2 letters of the 3 aren't random, they are an "area code". After 1967 there was an overlap of the years. From 2001 they split to 2x a year change of the number. For example:
CE51BZB - "CE" is a Welsh designation (Cardiff) and "51" meant registered between 1st Sept 01 and 28th Feb 02
M298PVJ - "VJ" was a code for Hereford and "M" meant it was registered between 1st Aug 94 and 31st July 95
TYY23E - "YY" was a code for London and the "E" meant it was registered between 1st Jan 1967 and 31st July 1967 (F reg then ran from 1st Aug 67 to 31st July 1968)
Spot on with the Rovers from the 80s - If you want to see a bit more of them in action there are a few video's on YT of them doing a high speed escort in the 80'a from Essex through Central London at high speeds with a lot of help on the way - There is a uncut version among them at 45 mins long but it is well worth a watch - just look up " The Liver Run ".
Seconded! That is a brilliant video I've watched many times since I first saw it as a kid!
@@garethreece - Alas I am old enough to remember watching it live - Another great one to watch if you have not seen " Paddingtons Forward Command unit on a shout " - Epic video and the last couple of minutes has probably " never been done before or since "
@@gdhukLONDON Oh I was too (just about!) . I will go check that out 👍
@@gdhukLONDON fair play! I know old Range Rovers can dance when driven correctly (I own one) but hell he made that old tank go!
At 9:40 those were two Rovers- the green P 6 from the 70s followed by the white SD 1 from the 80s, as police vehicles they both had the awesome Buick derived Rover 3,5 liter V8 engine. Great cars!
The car in front of them was an MG
And white car a MGB sports.
That Dennis at 6:45 isn't just any Dennis , it's actually a vehicle from a TV show that ran for years , had to make sure of the sideplate it was the fictional Blackwall station from London's Burning!
RS with Perkins V8?
The military truck at 5:38 is a Land Rover 101 forward control. The ambulance at 6:30 is also a Land Rover 101 forward control, but with the ambulance body. All 101 fc ambulances started their lives as 101 fc soft tops and were in the early eighties converted to ambulance body. I bought my 101 fc ambulance in 2002 and kept it original from the outside, but inside I converted it to a small camper. Greetings from the Netherlands.
There was another hard body conversion of the 101fc called Vampire which was used for electronic warfare. I think only 12 were made.
DENNIS actually built USA style fire engines up until 2007. Here in the Czech Republic, the volunteers in a nearby village have one, but the parts and maintenance are much more expensive, because they don't build them anymore. Really cool fire truck tho. Once inside, you really feel that it is not based upon a regular semi.
I don't get how you've come to the conclusion that Dennis built "USA style fire engines". Because they didn't. They built purpose built trucks, to the requirements of the customer.
@@jamienorman2622 Of course they build other vehicles. But I meant USA style in a way that they are not based upon a regular semi chasis, like other fire trucks in the EU are.
The silver "Muscle car" was a '78-'82 european Ford Granada equipped with R4 and V6 engines, which was a common family car here.
Mk1 Grenada with Essex V6.
The izusu rodeo is badged as a vauxhall frontera. The typical came with a diesel and petrol. They came with 2.2 16v ecotec. Also came with a v6. The diesels came with a 2.5 and 2.8 also the car shown at 5:42 is ford cortina. The car at 9:38 is a rover sd1 v8😎
Thar car was a rover SD1 and in England there is a famous run called "the liver run" that used them to transport organs for a operation
It was on Police Camera Action when I was a kid. You can still find the footage on CZcams.
czcams.com/video/ZnW-sTwxeUM/video.htmlsi=dAO2wv6q5_vKp30x This is the liver run
@Iwrocker - if you like the defender variants, also look up the "BFA" (Battle field ambulance). Used to operate in them in the forces as a medic. Another cool off road ambulance is the "Pinzgauer" ambulance variant we also used on airfield crash response.
5:40: Ford Granada. My parents used to have the wagon version in the 1970s. I loved it!
Dennis where a specialist truck company in the UK. They mainly made fire/ rescue trucks and bin lorrys.
They did (and still do) a lot of the buses especially around London - in the 90's and probably 80's (though I wasn't around in the 80's) almost all buses in London that weren't the classic Route Master bus were Dennis buses. Alexander Dennis buses are still very common to this day though now there's a lot more variety of other manufacturers around like Scania, Volvo and Mercedes
And ambulances in the 50s and 60s
@@Dr-Pip
1:17 1997 Ford Transit Mark 5 Hi-Cube / "Jumbo" van (with the third roof height and the third wheelbase length, but with a fourth body length introduced in 1995)
The Dennis and shelvoke/CFE trucks are actually preserved from a drama TV show about london fire brigade that aired late 80s - 2000s
09:00 - there, the best looking cars. Old ones. Love it.
Yes, the car at 4:23 is a Ford Focus, most likely the ST version with the turbocharged 2.5L 5 cylinder engine
i call Fiesta and Focus ST's and RS's pocket rockets, who knew a little hatchback could go so fast
Lethal weapon with a Volvo 5 cylinder turbo.
The bus at 7:35 is a Vauxhall, I don't know the exact type but in theory it is an Opel .
It's an Opel Vivaro, a.k.a Renault Traffic, a.k.a Fiat Talento, a.k.a Nissan Primastar and many others.
The Honda passport was badged as a Vauxhall Frontera in the UK. Vauxhall was the UK brand of Opel at the time, now part of PSA.
now Stellantis, which is PSA (Peugeot/Citroën/Opel/Vauxhall) merged with Fiat-Chrysler.
2:15 That is a 1979 Shelvoke & Drewry SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) Pump Escape of the London Fire Brigade.. A rival to the Dennis RS and SS models also available at the time, although the Shelvoke SPVs never sold as well, and were not as well liked as their Dennis counterparts.
The car you liked is a Rover SD1, which was styled to look like a Ferrari Daytona but on a family hatchback! Veru cool cars 😎
Dennis’s is / was a pretty big manufacturer of vehicles in the UK
Specifically heavy duty. Until recently they did a load of fire trucks,and now only do buses
Brooklands was the first purpose built race track. Quite a lot of it is still standing. The building behind is the Mercedes-Benz building. Just beyond that is the Brooklands Motor Museum which holds cars and bikes from all ages. It also has an aircraft museum with one of the Concordes on display.
Not the first purpose-built circuit but first 'banked' circuit.
Work started on brooklands track in 1906
@@paulheff8067 Work started on Aspendale motor racing circuit in 1905
Was also the home of Vickers Aircraft during WWII.
Shelvoke & Drewry chassis and cab with CFE (Cheshire Fire Engineering) coachwork.
if you like land rovers used for fire truck purposes, look up the Falkland islands fire and rescue service, they have 6 currently one of them being a one of one V8 version.
2:44 In japan this is also called the Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard... best car name ever!
12.08. It looks like a Rover SD1, with the V8 engine. My cousin had one. He used to grind it on the kerbsides all the time.
its a joy watching you, i become much more interested in all types of vehicles since i found this channel, you have great knowledge and it's very interesting to hear your comment on it, love from sweden
the chequerd side pannels are refered to in the UK as battenburg. they all have satur yellow and then the service color.
Blue - Police
Green - ambulance
Red - Fire
Orange - Higwas agency / Blood bikes and other services.
The blue, green and orage are protcted colors. you cvan get a large fine for useing the without permission.
@12:05 you dee two police cars with solid orance strips. Before the introductio of the battenburg this livery was used on Traffic cars and motorways patrol cars andwere refered to a jam butty cars. to translate for the colinies, jello sandwich. the orage stripe was suppise to be the jam (jellow) and the white above and below the bread.
Basically, Vauxhall is almost the same looking as some Buicks, and in Europe you've also got opel, which is fully the same as Vauxhall.
Ref Ford Granada @5:43 If you ever see the 1975 London based action film ‘Brannigan’ with John Wayne, he is an American detective sent to England, met and driven around in an unmarked police Ford Granada .
the cars with the v shaped badges are vauxhalls. They are basically rebadged opels
at 7'27" Vauxhall Vivaro police van (Opel Vivaro, Renault Trafic II, Nissan Primastar)
at 9'33 Rover SD1 (looks rather like the Citroën CX)
7:25 this is a Vauxhall Vivaro ( in Belgium: Opel Vivaro, Renault Trafic) it's made by Renault
the green police car is a Rover v8 from the early 70's and the 80's car behind its is also a rover v8 from the late 70's and early 80's.
The cream ambulance with the bell is a 1950’s Daimler
10:00 those cars with the big V shaped grille and the small circular badges are Vauxhalls (the german variety are Opels)
Fun Fact the BMW in 11:30 is also known as a Jam Sandwich due to the side bits being red.
7:20 the olddie is nice and have fun form-factor
I remember when I was a kid we used to call police cars Jam sandwiches, because they used to be all white cars with a red stripe along the side. Saw a couple in that clip one being the Rover which is the anglical car you spoke of.
The Ford at about 1:55 is based on the original Transit van
The Rover 3500 V8 is the weird angular design. I wanted one.
Seeing as you liked the Defender fire truck, you should check out the 6x6 version, made for rural firefighting. I believe a local fire station to me still has one and is in use. It can get where fire tenders can't. They are awesome bits of kit, in my top 5 fire appliances, along with any named Dennis. Dennis in fact still build trucks but I don't think fire tenders anymore, they tend to be bin lorries, scaffold trucks. They have really low entry as the cab is more like that of a bus, which is great for jobs where you're in and out the cab a lot. I've driven a Dennis bin lorry and it was many leagues better than it's Mercedes counterpart. If you've driven them, you know what I'm on about.
The "weird angular car" is a Rover 3500 from the 80s. Not Land Rover or Range Rover, it was a brand for normal cars. The silver "muscle car" at 5:40 is a 70-80s Ford Granada, very popular in the UK, but also in Germany. Most didn't have big engines, usually 4 cyl 2 ltr or so.
And yes, Vauxhall is the UK Chevrolet, or Opel in Germany.
Ford Granada there for "The Sweeney". 🙂
Rover SD1 with the 3500cc Rover V8 based on the GM/Buick V8.
That yellow thing as you called it, is also a Land Rover ( series 2 ) lwb 109 truckcab, first truck I think was an AEC Militant and a few Land Rover 101 forward controls.
The check pattern on the sides of UK emergency vehicles is yellow with a second colour:
Red for Fire and Rescue
Blue for Police
Green for Ambulance/ Paramedic
Black for Traffic Officers
Yellow and Orange = Blood
@@michaelney7006 Thanks, I'd forgptten tha one.
Just a bit of infor at 11:56 design of police car was actually called jam sandwich
In the uk the Isuzu rodeo was called the Vauxhall frontera
What you are looking at is a parade of vintage vehicles.. These days in the UK we do not produce our own ''Emergency Services Vehicles'' since it's cheaper to have them manufactured abroad ,which 'in my opinion' reflects the standard of quality...
9:55 those cars that have that logo and the silver/chrome looking band across the top of the grille and then go under the logo to form a V are Vauxhalls.
The Red Stripe down the sides of Police cars earnt them the nickname "Jam Sandwiches"
Vauxhall was founded by Alexander Wilson in 1857 as a pump and marine engine manufacturer. It was purchased by Andrew Betts Brown in 1863, who began producing travelling cranes under the company, renaming it "Vauxhall Iron Works". The company began manufacturing cars in 1903, and changed its name back around this time. It was acquired by American automaker General Motors (GM) in 1925. Bedford Vehicles was established as a subsidiary of Vauxhall in 1930 to manufacture commercial vehicles.
At 9:43 Rover SD1 that was my 1st car. 😁
More of these, from different countries!
7:37 Opel vivaro 3.0 biturbo van
9:27 rover its made in the UK
6:46 Dennis were massive builders of Fire Engines up until they went bust (date to be looked up!! 😂) and now Mercedes and Scania are now the two suppliers in the UK.
Also the two Rovers at 12:13 odd are part of the Met Heritage Fleet, the SD1 I think was used in the Liver Run video, possibly as the support/ backup car.
The Cream coloured ambulance was a Daimler (not daimler benz) became part of Jaguar its based on the 420G Jag / Daimler Chassis & Transmission & engine the same was used for the Daimler Limousine, the sports police car was an MGB!! Dennis was one of the Oldest makers of Fire Engines & Busses!!
9.40 its a ROVER yep 1980s.
there's a lot of unmarked police / fast response paramedic cars, that are skoda vRS.
5:41 that would be a Ford Granada - probably something like 2.8 Ghia X model
That would be a MKII if it was a Ghia X, that was a MKI which came with a 2.0, 2.3, 3.0 and the very rare 5.0 petrol or a 2.1 diesel.
Mk with3 litre Essex V6.
The yellow thing was a land rover, the silver car was a ford granada, and the Dennis vehicle is from a company called (Dennis Eagle) they are based on an industrial estate in Warwick, in the Midlands UK. They mainly make refuse vehicles, (bin trucks).The fire truck side of the business was based in Blackpool, I don't know if it still is, as I left Dennis Eagle 9 years ago, I was a paint sprayer at the Dennis Eagle site in Warwick for 14 years.
i really love watching your videos reacting to emergency vehicles! I suggest you to react to emergency vehicles around the world
The car you liked @9.30 is a 1980's Rover. That paint scheme was common at the time and was known as the "Jam (jelly to you) Sandwich" 😊
You saw Dennis as a brand back when you watched garbage trucks in Australia. Dennis is a british custom wehicle company, refuse, fire services etc and was exported alot to British influenced places.
that yellow thing at the start is another land rover, older style
Vauxhall and Opel are not part of GM now. They are owned by Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroen, Jeep etc) But the Vectra and Omega shown were designed under GM. The green car was a Rover P6, the white one in front of it an MGB GT
The white car was an MGB V8, followed by a green/blue Rover P6 V8, followed by a Rover SD1 V8 (the angular one that you liked).
There were three Rover SD1s, a Rover P5 or P6, a few Vauxhalls, A MG GBT the white car with a plant pot on the top of a box on the roof, a Morris Minor. Dennis is an English company buses, fire engines etc, police estate cars, some had a Battenberg pattern some had the old orange or red jam sandwich pattern on. There was an old ambulance. A couple of Jaguars. A Ford Cortina both James May’s dad and Jeremy Clarkson’s dad owned a different model Cortina, it’s the car you said looked like a muscle car.
ford granada
There was also a Rover 827 fastback.
Google lens is the best thing to use to check what kind of car is being shown.
Dennis also known as Alexandra Dennis, makes mostly buses and garbage trucks!
A 'Dennis' is where Americans go 2get their teeth looked at😄
People here saying Brooklands first purpose-built motor racing circuit, but Aspendale motor racing circuit, in Melbourne Australia, was opened the year before Brooklands. Brooklands was the first "banked" circuit.
You were right when you were talking about Vauxhall, apart from when you said they're a GM brand. They used to be, but now they're owned by the Peugeot group.
5:41 Ford Granada - The Sweeney!
You mentioned police interceptors. Our police in the UK tend to use BMW and SUBARU as their interceptor vehicles.
A good show to watch to see our police cars in action is Police Interceptors, or Traffic Cops. The shows are popular and have been going on for years.
5:45 It's a Ford Granada. I saw them often in my childhood and you are right. This thing really looks like a muscle car.
I am pretty sure you would like the Ford Granada Mark I Coupé
"that yellow thing" is a really old landrover
You are not familiar with Dennis. These fire trucks were the iconic British fire engines. They were one of the first in the world to make a purpose built fire engine from chassis up. They were not modified bus or truck chassis like most fire engines in Europe. Like the USA purpose built Pearce. These Dennis machines saw service in the UK, some European countries, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and many African states.
My friend has a Series III long wheel base, I drove a Discovery Mk1 1995 for a couple of years and loved it even with all the Land Rover BS it came with. You could fix that thing on the side of the road with whatever you could find inside. I have a 2013 Wrangler now, same solid axles, same brick aerodynamics and while it has it's perks it's nowhere near the capabilities of the Disco. If there was a road up to the Moon, the Disco will just climb. I hate the mushy plastic all over the Wrangler, you can change everything if you invest another car worth of options. The Disco had rust holes in the foot pans and you could see the road through, did 90mph highway, went off-road just as you stepped off the highway. If there was never oil drips under the car, something wrong was with the car or was empty. I was shocked by the plastic intake of the 3.6V6 Pentastar Chrysler engine. I would've preferred my intake to be at least aluminum.
the car you liked 12:08 & 9:29 Rover SD1 they had the rover v8. my mums mate had one and had few day trip out and it did sound good he driven it hard, sure it was not stock exhaust. cool car and he had the v8, 3.5 L Rover V8 engine produced approximately 340 bhp (254 kW; 345 PS) by 1986. it was one the later ones ive been in. do like rover, growing up younger years rover did partner up with honda, the civic with boot around 1995 was the rover 400 and hatch civic shorter one rover 200 or 214, and mg had few hot versions of them to but they were setup for uk roads they were less crashy over the bumpy country lanes compared to the Japanese cars at the time, uk setup and styling but with Honda engine on some, you had options for Honda or rover engine, some cars when rover and honda worked together before it went all wrong. Rover 600 (1993-1999) it’s almost entirely a rebadged Honda Accord. However, what Rover gave up in development, it reclaimed inside - the 600 was neatly Anglicised with chrome and wood accents. Rover 800 (1986-1999) The BL/Honda tie-up’s first real joint venture was intended to create a replacement for Rover’s ageing SD1 and to give Honda its first attempt at a large luxury car for the American and European markets. The fruits were the 800 and Legend. The Legend was exclusively four-door, where Rover later offered a coupe and a five-door fastback in addition to the popular saloon body. Powerplants included Honda’s C-series V6, Rover 2-litres in O, M and T-series flavour, plus turbocharged derivatives of the latter two. Later, the Honda V6 was replaced by Rover’s KV6. Rover 200/400 (R8) (1989-1995) Many cite the R8 200/400 - otherwise known as the Honda Concerto - as Rover’s peak. A shared Tokyo/Longbridge effort, the R8 combined Honda reliability and practicality, with plush interior and upmarket image. CAR magazine championed it over the BMW 3 Series, saying “the Rover’s classy, versatile interior, significant performance advantage, crisp handling and entertaining drive make it a tough act to beat”. doing bit google came across Rover 400 on Quebec plates in Quebec so you may see one but guess very rare its honda civic look with boot but rover badge and styling so you might have a few rovers in usa, and was new story saying the last honda civic made in uk going to usa, guess since them you built them in usa
Rover SG1, the best UK police car ever!
8:34 i cant beleive my eyes, a SD1 and a P6
The weird 80s car is a rover sd1 or rover 3500. The cars that followed it are opel omega's and vectra's in their vauxhall equivilent. I think they where called vauxhall carlton and vauxhall vectra in the UK.
The isuzu suv was an opel frontera on the continent and a vauxhall in the UK.
The van @ 8:15 was a vivaro. An opel/vauxhall van. Also sold as a renualt trafic.
Opel and vauxhall are exactly the same cars. The right hand drive ones for the uk market are just branded vauxhall and come in different trim levels for the uk market.
Opel however is now part of stellantis and are now pretty much citroens. I actually do not know if vauxhall stayed with GM or if it moved to stellantis as well.
rebadge as a vauxhall for the uk market which is an opel
Mate please please please, it's YOU KNEE MOG not OOOONI MOG hahaha keep up the good work though, love your enthusiasm and the channel in general ps the black SUV is a GM product a Vauxhall frontera ( front err Ah ) 😂😂😂
The silver Car is an Ford Granada! The next Rover, Vauxhall (Opel) , Fiat.
I'm british but love all the German emergency services vehicles
It’s a Rover 8200 fastbsck came as a 2.8 ltr and a 3000 (3.0ltr)
The majority of these cars are a good bit older or are at least about 10 years old just to clarify for those who might not be sure due to not being familiar with the uk car market and emergency services. For those who might want to see some of the newer stuff just search up stuff thats stationed in london, there are tons of videos titled along the lines of "london emergency services responding to calls" etc
Time for some useless info, if a vehicle is fitted with a white registration plate, it is usually post 1973, black plates are before then.
Most modern police and ambulance sirens are made by either Federal Signal or Whelen.
Yeah we have your sirens in the UK😁
Dennis used to make most of the fire engines in the UK. When I was a kid in the 70s nearly all the fire engines and a heap of buses would have Dennis on the front. I have a feeling they were more a coach builder as for a few years I lived in Guildford where they were based, and now and again you’d see a bare chassis being driven to their factory by a guy in a crash helmet. Weird sight.
Most UK bin lorries are Dennis at least the ones I've seen that are owned by the council
A lot of fire engines are too.
@@mistakenot...4012yes, but they haven't made them since 2007, so the likes of Scania crew cab chassies with fire appliance body builds are taking over.

a lilttle bit of history about brooklands, it was the worlds first purpose built race track at 2.767 miles. it opened in 1907 and hosted races untill 1939.
Not the first purpose-built circuit but first 'banked' circuit.
