Default New Unmarked Car in N. Wales

I was warned by a friendly farmer about this, then spotted it myself nicking a chav for speeding in a 30 (one of my bugbears, so ) in Denbigh.

Audi A6 Avant (estate) TDi 3.0 in Silver with blacked out windows, reg no begins CX10.

The privacy glass will make it hard to spot from the rear, but an A6 Avant is quite rare, especially on a CX10 Welsh plate - they prefer A4s round here Treat Silver A6s with caution in N. Wales

I treat most newish estates with caution when making progress. One of Cheshire's unmarked white debadged BMW 5 Series 3.0D estates (DK58 CPY) was around the Llangollen/Ruthin area earlier today. Saw the occupants (4) getting coffee at the Rhug Organic Farm and I'm guessing it was being used for training of some sort by the looks of them.

Chris,

That would have been a training car. Standard and advanced courses run with an instructor and three students.

I was in Bala the other day and Lancs turned up in a dark blue 330d. You would have to be really mental to be doing something serious enough to get a training car to try and prosecute you.
