A MUSIC teacher's latest investment is turning heads across town.

Rory Duncan, from Braintree, bought a genuine American police car at the end of 2015.

The car, originally from Florida, came to the UK about eight years ago.

Mr Duncan has now set up a business as the New York Police Department vehicle was getting a lot of attention.

He describes is at the most eye-catching car in Essex.

He said: "I couldn't believe the amount of attention it got, everyone stands and takes photos.

"It's unique and it turns heads, the cars are a bit of a legend as they are used a lot in films.

"I didn't buy it to start a business, I just bought it for fun."

Some cars similar to his are selling for up to £12,000.

Mr Duncan said: "It has been to the Comic Convention in London and everyone gets dressed up in NYPD uniform.

"It is faithfully equipped with all the correct decals, lights and sirens that a car patrolling the streets in 2005 would have had.

"Whenever I leave it in a car park, there's always someone that comes over to it within a couple of minutes.

"We attend shows with lots of other American police cars, in different liveries, such as Arizona, LAPD, Gotham City, Palm Beach and they are always the most popular cars in any show.

"We sometimes even dress up in the correct uniforms and do re-enactment chases."

The car is now being used for weddings and proms.
