Panda cars were usually in near base model trim (De Luxe on a Mk2 Cortina) and used smaller engines as the majority of police drivers using cars in this role were only qualified to standard level and not allowed to drive more powerful cars. Despite Ford's attempt to gain Panda car sales with the 1.3-litre pre-crossflow engined demonstrator modelled they were not successful as forces ordered smaller cars for this role: Ford Anglias, Morris Minors or 1100s, and from 1968, Ford Escorts. The Mk2 Cortina was, however, very widely used by the Police in a variety of other roles including traffic patrol and C.I.D. investigation, who used discreet unmarked examples. Many police forces also used the Lotus-engined Mk2 as high-speed pursuit cars.
