one thing i dont understand is they have gone to all that expense to armour plate it, why do they do it to a standard cheapo LX one, why not get a half decent one?

Fantom · 3 Sep 2006 at 21:38

I wonder what performance is like, id imagine it would be very heavy...

Ringo · 3 Sep 2006 at 21:39

......and what is the point of having a bullet proof car that will do 25mph flat out?

Get it remapped and yer wouldn't notice

I however wonder, can it suffer from parking dents still?

would be better of with an st220.

My Dad bought an ex-RUC armoured Mk2 Mondeo 2.0 petrol a few years ago, didn't pay anything like that for it though.

It was incredibly heavy and topped out about 85mph. It served its purpose for a few months and he sold it to a couple of villans for more than he paid for it!

If you're using an armoured vehicle, you probably want to be a little more discreet.

I would think the ST TDCi would be better. the economy on a 3.0 V6 petrol with all that stuff on it? :eek:

Probably just the exterior which is bland tbh. I'd imagine the interior is fully kitted out.

But its got hubcaps!!!!
Why would the interior be kitted out if its got lx style hub caps.

it's custom built, and designed to blend in. i dont give LX mondeos a second look, but a titanium x or ST always gets noted

start bolting alloys and things on and people begin to look. it's probably just ebcause i post here, but i tend to note ghia x's too

or at least use an LX with a v6 under the bonnet if you wanted to be more discreet.

Firestar_3x · 3 Sep 2006 at 22:15

I don't think its a heavy as you guys think, CEN B6 standard means its good enough to protect from an AK47 round from a 90 Degree angle but i won't take hits like a rocket / grenade launcher / mines etc.

Glass is replaced with armoured stuff, and it has all the areas such as pillars / door skins lined with light ballistics armour.

NickXX · 3 Sep 2006 at 22:16

It's described as being 'very high spec', as it's not got alloys I'm hoping it refers to the interior!
