Thanks a lot, that was really interesting! I lived in London 1965-67, and of course there were only Fords, Vauxhalls, Wolseleys, Jaguars, and perhaps one or two others. Its changed since then.
It’s only like this in London though, elsewhere nearly all the emergency response vehicles are marked, as they should be. The only people taking an emergency vehicle home should be Police dog handlers, on call emergency responders should be in a marked pool car, not each having their own high end luxury car that’s had to be fitted up. These vehicles are like flats for politicians, every time a new person is elected as an MP, they all get a flat in London to keep after the tax payer has furnished, decorated & repaired it of course.
@@WhiskeyGulf71I have an unmarked car, for my role in the ambulance service. I own and pay for the car, just like any other car. I don’t take a marked car home for two reasons, I don’t live in London - so driving a London ambulance car to rural Surrey is a waste of money. Secondly, my car is my car. I go to Tesco, drop the kids off a school etc in the car. Doing that in fully marked ambulance car looks awful for public perception. Imagine me turning up to Tesco on a Tuesday afternoon, in a fully marked up London ambulance car (not in London) not in uniform, doing the weekly shop and then putting said weekly shop in to the car. Awful. This is why it’s unmarked. So I can still use MY car as a daily run around, but also be able to respond as needed.
The most random compilation of cars, from a Tesla to a bloody Defender 😂
The variety of unmarked emergency vehicles in London is so cool. Nice compilation!
‘Slick Tops’. Love that name. So cool 😎
6:26 definitely wasn't expecting a burgundy Rav4
First car - I love a Whelen Alpha. Very uncommon to see them on newer vehicles these days!

Great video mate
The UK for my opinion has the best unmarked cars better than the US 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In many States definitely but not in all :)

Nice one 👍🏻
Wow that defender 👍
The Defender 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is why London has ULEZ ! It’s needed to finance all of these vehicles.
Ambulance and fire staff pay for their own vehicles
Was that a Tesla Slick Top?
Brilliant compilation. 5:25 What do you think the Mercedes van is used for?
Not Police.
Either surveillance or as a mass armed response vehicle.
@@zylos9016 thank you
Where are they rushing to i wonder 😂
They are IOPC responding to a report that a BTP officer posted the Leia Gold Bikini photo to the AFO group chat
3:56 Met Police TVIU Golf Type R meets a new friend on the road Mr Moped and they have a brief kiss before moving on to other dates
Not a fucking soda
