At one time the Police always bought British - has anyone ever seen a Japanese police car (in the UK)?
By British, do you include Ford and Vauxhall? Just asking. Perhaps Peugeot 306 counts because they were built in Coventry?
As to Japanese cars, Wiltshire have at least one Honda CRV soft roader thingy. Honda have a factory in Swindon, so maybe that's a reason (local business etc).
Avon and Somerset have run a Proton (but only the one), not Japanese, but Malaysian granted. Proton's HQ is at Portbury Docks, just down the road from A&S HQ, and the first car was a trial initiated by Proton.
Do Northumberia Police run Nissans? Derbyshire Toyota's?

RE: "By British, do you include Ford and Vauxhall?"
By British I meant built in the UK, though even Rover is owned by the Chinese these days.
There seems to be a tendency for UK police forces to avoid cars from outside the EC, though I don't know why.

Yes, saw a new, dark blue Honda Accord, unmarked police car. The flashing blue lights were in the radiator grill.
