I went and had a look at one of those when I was 16 as a first car. Turned out it had no brakes, so was left for someone with more mechanical knowledge.
Probably about double its value I'd have thought? I'm not sure that having been a Police car adds anything to it really and that roof box and the blue light are certainly not original to it or of the period
Those little Fords probably have some nostalgic charm but are a very basic little car. We used to hire them to go on holiday in when I was a lad and they were brand new. I always remember the vacuum wipers going slower and slower on them
You're right OEW. I think being an ex cop car decreases a cars value (unless it was a Lotus Cortina .....) knowing that it's been thrashed mercilessly since day one of its life! Even though ex cop cars are rarer that ex works cars too!
100E's and offshoots have never been desirable, and a four door is at the bottom of that pile. They're not a bad thing but £4000 is enough for a tidy one.
