I think it would be fun to drive a C32 Cop Car... you get a call and have to "QUICKLY" respond .

Do you know what country that is from? I have never seen the Yellow and Blue pattern before. I'm guessing either Isreal or Germany.

My guess is England. Looks like brittish number-plates anyway. And isn't the steering-wheel located on the right side?

Im sure this is not a german cop-car. Look at revstrikers avatar to see how a german copcar looks like.

I agree with DTS. The plate looks to be from the UK. MB makes police cars (along with taxi and others). You can see pics of these on the MB Germany Website. This is where I got my Avatar of the C320 Polizei Car.

It is an interesting looking car though.

The car is supposed to belong to the Stathclyde, Scotland police department. But, do you think any police department would purchase an aftermarket body kit? And those wheels are exactly standard issue either. Anyone recognize them?

The front bumper looks very much like this one:

Avantgarde

I think those wheels/rims and front and rear apron is part of the european "Avantgarde"-package, but I might be wrong....

After looking at MB's international web site, I think you may be correct. The wheels definitely look like the "Avantgarde" wheels. The photo of the bumper isn't very good, but it does have the horizontal bar. The grille on the police car, however, looks one from the "Elegance" package.

Thats a UK number plate.

I have seen one of the London police forces (around Bromley) has a ML or two.

MB supply lots of vehicles to the German police, and in fact there are some "options" for police cars such as power for the flashing lights, additional radio aerials etc

(In fact, most taxis in Germany are E class, and MB have specific taxi options for the E/S [and one other I cant remember, possibbly A class] which can be found on the german web site, www.mercedes.de)

For anyones info that is the Sports Package. My stock front bumper looks like that and so do the rims. That is not a C32, just a C class with a sports package. 16" wheels with 225 50 16.
