… this will annoy you even more 
They’ve been lent a car for free. What’s the problem?!?
I’d be more impressed if the police did the job they’re paid to do instead of attending motoring events 
Of cause if you’re happy to pay taxes so the police can ■■■■ around like this then you won’t have a problem with it 
It’s not the first time a force of HM Rozzers have had a Lotus. There was a force just a few years ago had one, but I’ll be buggered if I can remember which one.

If you were a manufacturer and wanted to get your product noticed, get some good technical feedback from drivers and put it through thousands of miles of road testing, what better company to do it then Plod PLC?
As far back as 2008 IIRC Sussex Police had a Exige in plod livery. Not allowed to be operational but they would take it to events as it was something that would engage the public with them.
as for being lent for free by manufacturers, no problem there. It’s better than spending tax payers money on it.
