Scania on the beat...
MODEL TRUCK-MAKER Search lmpex has been commissioned to create a 150 scale replica of the Central Motorway Police Group's so-called 'spy truck',
Police have been trialling the Scania Highline R480 tractor unit since October 2009 to get an eyeline view of truck drivers. An observer in the passenger seat of the Scania uses a handheld digital camera to record any offenders, enabling police to check whether truck drivers are complying with the law, and not putting themselves or other road users at risk.
"This will be a unique and unusual diecast model, which should appeal to some collectors," says Jim Newsome, MD of Derbyshirebased Search Impex.
The model is expected to be available by December, priced at approximately 264.
