I will never forgive Tony Blair the Labour Party or the Conservative Party for what they have done to my country and to think our ancestors fought for this to the death . I detest any of them in power since 1997 who contributed to the decline and hardship of today

5.30 jeeze that last lethal driving

Back when there were characters about and people knew who they were.

Must be early 80s with an SD1 2600, rather than a 3500, as a TAC.

Les Crossland of “Liver Run” fame…

Rover 2600. Didn't they want the Vitesse? 😆

That child not strapped in that pram. The days were so different.

This is the police force I will always remember and respect. Today's police are far beyond the reach of any of the officers of the day. I'm not saying all police of today, but most in my book leave alot to be desired. How our government has allowed our police to become the mess it is today is beyond me. Recruitment standards need to be addressed and applicant's should be vetted as they where back then.

When policemen were policemen

Tax is in the post how long 6 months genuine isn't Rodders yes Dell

Nice bit of film. Reminds me of time spent with my brother John Craggs, and his colleagues, who worked out of Chelsea nick throughout the 70s. Old school, common sense policing. John preferred the Rovers to the Triumph 2500pi, as he said the Triumph was much more tail-happy on wet corners.

Hope their driving has improved since the 70’s

That sunglasses driver should have been done for that remarkable lurching stop at 12:07

The Rover SD1. One hell of a classic. Remember seeing them as a teenager in mid eighties and wanting so desperately my Dad to buy a white one. Had to settle for a red BL Princess😢

"Look, there's a n****r driving a Ford Granada, must be nicked, let's pull him over, drag him out and beat him to a pulp." "Great idea, Regan."

I was afraid for them really, those vehicles were metal weapons if the crash didn't kill you the car would. Much better crash designs now.

Fuck me the ROVER P6 3500 V8 . Got me off big superbikes. A black man showed me the way forward in the early 80s . "Glasford daily' you're a legend he calmly explained cars were Warm fast music and pussy in the next seat . Our police we're given SD1 2600 to catch me in a 3500 V8. Not a hope in hells chance. I remember being asked to pull over outside BRIXTON Police station at 4am by traffic division in a SD1 V8 Which literally had no working rear dampers. The guy with a white cap said his car was 0 to 100 mph in 11 seconds, and my car was 0 to 100 in 22 seconds. He said to me even YOU cannot make up those 11 seconds. After the stop was over we drove through Brixton towards upper tulse hill were we both stopped at a red light. The lights turned green and after 22 seconds no police car was visible to me. Literally the Policeman was utterly useless behind the wheel. LIke all the rest ive encountered over 30 years. Maybe with the exception of a Policeman Who showed me ABS at 120 mph and going around roundabouts the wrong way. Worst thing he could ever of done. I think he was called Williams. "I salute you ' literally Hundreds of policemen, of all ranks and experience in pursuits and in far superior cars, SHAT on.ELITE DRIVERS YEA RIGHT .Pull the other 1 fellas it has bells on.

Back to the good old days when chummy received a well deserved wooden enema if he was leery ............

when Britain was a first-world nation - - fascinating time-capsule!

This brings back on memories, times have certainly changed but I am sorry to say not for the best reasons, wheres that time machine.🧐

1:19 Chuffer the daylits, and the latter they ave rights in the mornings.

Old London

12.26 No way carlito brigante.

Utter bollocks. No personal radios, deal with a fatal before breakfast, stupid small talk, finishing on time?????

This was my manor in the 60s/70s. Had the misfortune of seeing the inside of CH nick for juvenile thieving - fine £5. My first car was a mk3 Cortina - this brings back some memories from the days before the area was ruined by mass immigration. It's now more like a town from the Indian sub-continent.

Not a high viz in sight 😂

At the end you wanted and voice over and say "Our true hero's drive off to the fight crime again "!😃

12:03 fortunate that the camera was there to capture the stop. 😂

Hmm straight six 2600 SD1's? I could of sworn the traffic plod used V8 SD1s, don't think anyone used the 2600SE's. Quite ironic in the 2300 and 2600 were bored out Triumph 2000 and 2500 both used commonly in police vehicles.

Really enjoyed this 😂😂😂 ❤

When England stiil had an identity…

Should bring back the traffic division in all areas because driving habits are getting a lot worse since the introduction of CCTV and speed cameras some 30years ago. When the traffic police were around you hardly seen red light jumpers. Its in epidemic portions these days.

I really love watching these old cop documentary’s because they are of a time that will never be like this again Even some of the things the police used to do were since scarped by law!!!!!!!! That man who was speeding on the motorway got off very lightly the cop could’ve done him for speeding and careless driving Etc etc etc !!

3.5 s... what a machine., has a few...

52 years ago. 1970 was the year I was born... Love to go back to the 70s... 13.16... Some one rides past on a pedal bike... There was never safety precautions back in the 70s..

I love to see old pictures and videos of 1960s police cars especially mk1-2 escorts mk1 ford transits/mk1-3 ford cortina's + rover p6/ford zephyrs/ mk1 granadas as back in 60s/70s virtually all cars was flying machines and even a little hillman imp or mini 1275gt took some catching!!! Where as today's poor quality plastic crap tin cans that look terrible and perform like shit! At least with older cars they man run Rough nut still run and drive this modern trash 🗑 just cuts out and dies sadly plus costs a fortune to repair!!! 🥳🥳🥳😎

And not a single fat or blue haired person anywhere to be seen.

And not a hi-vis vest in sight

I grew up round that area see a few familiar places

So the Mini had done nothing wrong but they pulled it over for a suspected dodgy handbrake? How can they tell that on the move?! And lo and behold it does have a dodgy handbrake. Setup much? And if it's not a setup it's discrimination to pull Minis in the hope of finding a dodgy handbrake.

That’s good spaghetti western music there.

I wonder if the guy in the ambo survived?

Rovers are better than the diesel Astras

Filmed on 2nd July 1975 (based on the intel briefing at beginning).

Proper collar numbers!

Law & Order.

9:15 You chat him up.oooooo

I realize us Americans drive opposite, but I had to cringe when they pass cars into oncoming traffic!

Real life experienced down to earth British Police officers. Not the case today and I miss them greatly !

shame the UK isn't like this, the police knew there stuff and treated people with Respect... now?.. now it's all corruption, dictatorship and money making.. most people hate the UK now, i can see why,
