As stated above, probably a modified Volvo V70 so nothing special.
I like how these articles throw in completely useless tidbits of information. We were taught back in 4th grade not to include facts which don't pertain to the rest of the story.
Read:
"The officer, who is also trained in the use of firearms, was recorded travelling at 159mph on the motorway near Telford in the early hours of 5 December 2003."
What does being trained in firearms have anything to do with a story about driving fast? If it were a story about a cop involved in a firearm incident I'd understand. They might as well write, "The officer, who owns a pet golden retriever, was recorded travelling at 159mph on the motorway near Telford in the early hours of 5 December 2003.". Or better yet, "The officer, who had beef stew for dinner last night and likes hamsters, was recorded travelling at 159mph on the motorway near Telford in the early hours of 5 December 2003."

No, we use Miles Per Hour, because the cost of replacing all of the road signs in the United Kingdom was deemed too expensive.

**** the police.

I wondered that as well. I felt as though it was included to somehow make him seem more dangerous (but I have no idea whether an English person would view it that way - I know most Americans wouldn't).

You're forgetting the months it takes to be accepted as a brother after you get the badge. There's no immediate acceptance.
Not every Officer is necessarily a member of the FOP.
Yeah, that reason is that hippies in the 60s thought the police looked like pigs when they had their gas masks on as riots were doused with tear gas. How is that relevant?
