The motorbikes used by the Telegram lads that I remember in Dover were BSA Bantam's.

This , and I used to Telegrams asking if I was available for work , if it was a big job I sometimes got two or three  from different firms for the same Job .

Yep. I grew up in the East end of London and they were, Velocettes, BSA Bantams.

The "proper" police bikes were usually Triumph Saints, which were quite lowly geared, earning them the acronym SAINT...Stop Anything In No Time.

Bloody hell I must be old. I remember the Wolseley 4/44 police cars with a bell just above the front chrome bumper.

Hello, my dad had a Wolseley 44 and can still remember the reg number, 41 BMK , worth a bob or 2 now if not scrapped,
