    Under the "Public Freedom of information act"' anyone can get a list of all the vehicles used by your local constabulary.
    The full list for Wiltshire is on the net - if you need it.
    The WX prefix does indeed refer to Wessex registered vehicles.
    - And if you check the list you will discover that a lot of the unmarked fast traffic cars do actually have the WX prefix.

    The full list I found doesn't have VRN's so pretty useless. Didn't realise the variety of cars they have though till I read it, they have spent a fortune on beemers too!

    I found one list which does list the VRN, make & model - but you have to digg deep in the document to glean the information.
    They have BMW's , Audi's , Skoda's & Ford Focus's and Mondeos too.
    I have seen all of these cars on the prowl over the last couple of years.

    By the time you've read the VRN it's probably too late! As has been said you can generally spot police cars by the way they are driven. Personally I am very wary of any vehicle coming up behind me quickly, better to slow down and let them overtake so you get a good look at who's inside and count the aerials on the outside. You can always speed up again afterwards.
    Orange ones are faster, but red ones are more comfortable!

    In my limited experience you can usually tell if they are an unmarked police car when they put blue lights on, pull you over and ask if "this is your car sir"
    Obviously if you're on a bike this is a trick question so beware ;-)
