PICTURES

I will add photos as i find them and any details i know

These photos were of the car spotted in 2003 still being used. source http://prelude.car.coocan.jp/4thPrel...ol/Patrol.html





These photos are particlaly intersting because it shows there was more then 1 in service. They are both marked as highway patroll. One 1st gen and 1 face lift model.





This one is from a flyer handed out by tokyo metropolitan police. Its interesting because they are actualy travelling backwards over rainbow bridge.



Appears to be from a kids book



These 2 are my favouret and by far the highest resolution i have seen. These are taken at the police motorbike training ground just as the car was 1st delivered and everyone is having a look at it. source https://cbx1000z.at.webry.info/201304/article_5.html

Found a stop meter for auctoin. This is used to drive behind the car you want to speed check. once you have matched you speed you press the print button and it prints a resipt of the current speed to attach to the fine. Unfortunately my bid was unsuccessful
