I'm going to be setting up as a private investigator and need a 'normal' vehicle which preferabley can double as a family vehicle if necessary. Size really does not matter, as long as its medium sized upwards and looks normal with blacked out windows.
I've been thinking about land rovers, but don't want to pay the 4x4 tax! (Sorry, daughter of a scottish accountant!). Then I thought about vans, but not sure yet.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for those answers, to answer the question about image, no i really don't care, its just I'd like to be able to get out of the car and leave a camera taping for a minute or so (like to go into a shop etc), and be able to leave the equipment in the car without drug addicts breaking into it and stealing it! Thats why i wanted a car that looks normal blacked out!

Why not try black or white BMW, that way u get your blacked out window's and you don't look out of place.

They always make me think, hearse:-( or Dracula... yuck... each to his own, but... they look devious and seriously make me mistrust the reasoning behind the need to use them... and they make me wonder if the person inside, has Asperger's Syndrome too... I've shared my last thirty years with sufferers of this condition... they need to hide away quite often... and can't be stared at... perhaps you should see a doctor and check this out?
PS... the best way to be a PI... is to do it openly... you'll stand out if you have blacked out windows... in a family car... acting in a family way... even with your kids inside the car... you wont:-)
Transparency is often the best place to hide... did you know the safest place to hide is close to your own doorstep... maybe just down the road?
I did a PI course myself a few years ago and was going to start a business, but... couldn't be bothered with chasing errant husbands... after having had one like it:-(

I thought the idea was to blend in and not look conspicuous? Get a car that doesnt draw attention, wear clothes that don't get you noticed, behave less eccentric and then you'll just melt in and become invisible as it were. If you want to be a flash harry/harriet then you'll be making success more difficult for yourself. Are you more interested in image?

Personally, I don't think there is. Just get ur windows blacked out for a few extra pounds. Maybe ur looking at £300 each window, I think.
Thnx

Try a Ford Focus- nearly all of those have blacked out windows as standard...
Just remember to drive like an idiot
