LTI - London Taxis International
The current model of the classic London taxi from LTI. Successor to the FX4 below, the TX1 claims to be the last word in driver comfort - never a key feature of the earlier models. Always room for improvement though, bit a bit more like a car than before... |
| Just for those who had forgotten what the archetypal London cab looks like. Still many thousands in service on the streets of course, and likely to remain so for a few years to come. |

The Metrocab
Around for over a decade, this is still in the minority compared to the LTI models. A troubled company history appears to have settled as the manufacturers were taken over earlier this year. Time will tell.

The euro7taxi from Cab Direct, with capacity of up to 7 pasengers, full wheelchair access and much more. |
 |
Eurocab: specialist Mercedes and Fiat hackney and private hire conversions from Jubilee Automotive Group, West Midlands. |
| Voyager Multi Purpose Vehicles: 20 year-old family run business in Crewe, Cheshire. Specialises in producing wheelchair accessible taxis, minibuses and vehicles for private use. |
 |
| Based on a van chassis, the Asquith body offers a sense of a previous age, but with modern mechanicals. Not many of these compared to the 'normal' cabs above of course, but ideal for larger groups. |

sidecars featured on this site.

| Not all taxis are for work! These great pedal cars are replicas of
1950s toys, and can cost from $200-400. You can often find them on the
eBay auction site for less. The site below is a manufacturer which sells them
for $189 (don't forget to allow for cost of shipping to UK).
