Details: Vauxhall Astra 4380B was a one-off in several respects. It was the only red Vauxhall Astra saloon to feature in the numbered fleet (alongside dozens of estate cars and vans). Correcting the information in the caption of the previous photograph of it, it appears to have been delivered in 1994 with this curious arrangement of roof beacon, roundel, and side boards bearing the Centrecomm Road Team lettering and arrow logo. The fleetnumber was carried on the nearside only. It lost the boards and gained London Transport Buses lettering on the doors by 1995, then later lost the roof rack, beacon and roundel. The only other vehicle known to carry the Centrecomm name was similar but un-numbered K89HWF. The name has more recently appeared on Sovereign tow truck GM03TOW. Photographed rounding Parliament Square on 4th October 1994.
