1974 Austin FX4 Taxi | London

A 1974 Austin FX4 Taxi, the London cab that stayed on the city's streets for decades. It was built for the job, with an enclosed four-door body and a tight 7.6-metre turning circle. Its upright shape has become a shorthand for London. This car is Black outside and in, with a 2.5-litre diesel engine. The plain colouring keeps the cab's outline clean against brick, stucco or a studio backdrop. That suits advertising, photography and fashion and editorial shoots that need a London setting at a glance, as well as period film, television and music video work. At events, the familiar silhouette gives guests an arrival point they recognise. It also makes a characterful wedding arrival or a day out for a personal celebration. The car is based in London.
