If you got more of these older UK Police chase clips, i would love to see more.

[@chanchito4401]

The fact that this was apparently filmed the year or year before I was born (1997) makes me feel so ancient! The blue spinning lights on the unmarked police cars and the two-tone "nee-naw" sirens are just incredible to me... Awesome footage!!!

[@eccIefechan]

Well, I was 11 years old when I recorded it from TV back in September 1996. It's hard for me to believe that it's so long ago now!

[@chanchito4401]

@@eccIefechan So it's actually a whole year older than me and therefore 24 years ago! One big thing I noticed was how differently the cars handled compared to modern cars which could zip around those corners and weave in and out of traffic with ease. These old Rovers looked quite unsteady in comparison and even quite precarious at times (a lot of body roll!).

[@64bakes]

Makes you feel ancient? I was 8 when this was recorded! I remember when these cars were commonplace on the roads.

Really all you needed for pretty much all of them was one of those old swis army knifes, the little nail file got in to anything so easily, with the little buttons we used to have, put in lock and turn hard and up comes that button, break steering lock, hand under dash rip plastic off to reveal ignition wires, grab um and pull and out came the little black box with a hole in it, put nail file into that hole and away you go lol Those were the days, altho i stopped anything like that when I reached around 16 and realised people work hard for what they have and no one has a right to touch thier stuff but really thinking about it, I just miss being a teenager as everything was better, getting old is not fun lol
