Corgi VA11002 Ford Escort XR3i – Cambridgeshire Police

The Mk3 Ford Escort formed the backbone of many police forces’ section car fleets throughout the 1980s. However, its performance derivative, the XR3i, was relatively rare with only a limited number of forces utilising its performance as an urban traffic car. The Cambridgeshire Force used the vehicle modelled here, as they often travelled on long straight fenland roads where power was as important as manoeuvrability. They even retained its signature telephone dial alloy wheels.
