The History
In
1965 the Chief Constable of the Lancashire
County Constabulary made several visits to the USA,
where he noticed that most police cars over there
were black with white doors. He brought the idea
over so that each police officer could be given a
unique car, totally different to the standard
black patrol cars, which the public could easily
identify. To help achieve this they were painted
in a unique blue colour with white doors and a
half white roof. After experimenting with a Ford
Zephyr the force opted to use Ford Anglia and
several hundred were bought over the next few
years.
