North Yorkshire have been using a fleet of Transporters since 2012 as community safety vans, non response. They sent one to auction a few years ago, I tried to buy it before it went there to no avail.
They also used T5's as Collision Investigation Vehicles but have since gone to Transits.
You may have a long wait for that one !

Unfortunately it won't come with the decals, sparkly blue lights or any useful "get out of my way" sounders.
Btw - I spotted it first, so get your beady eyes off!

So this is parked up near my house looking a bit sad for it’s self. I’m no expert on vans but this is on a 16 plate but looks like a 6.1 which didn’t come out till 2019, any thoughts? The reg plate comes back to a Volkswagen Light Van on askMID.com So I'd suspect a 'cherished' plate with a...

Police community safety work must be very similar to camping
No, the right hand edge of the Y and the left hand edge of the J are correctly distanced, it's just a visual trick....
Are you referring to the gap between the Y and the J? If so, I *think* it's just letter combo that results in what looks like an exaggerated spacing - the spacing between the top-right of the Y and the bottom-left of the J looks standard to me.
Beat you too it by seconds !!
It would have a wider space between the J and the 1 if it wasn't deliberately moved. I know this is irrelevant for number plates but this thread has just stirred old memories...not, I hasten to add, because of a few close encounters with the old transit police vans. . When I was at art college, a lifetime ago, we had a tutor that was obsessed with correct spacing, depending on which letters are adjacent to each other. I learnt you don't put the same space between long uprights like I,L,Ms and Ns as you do with round letters like Os, Ds and Gs. It's a visual thing not a measured distance. It helped me in those days when I used to do a bit of signwriting.

I believe that letter spacing is called kerning.It would have a wider space between the J and the 1 if it wasn't deliberately moved.

Blimey. Another stirred memory from my past. 
Kerning is deffo not allowed on a reg plate!Blimey. Another stirred memory from my past.
