1937 Austin London Taxi | Breighton, East Riding of Yorkshire

A 1937 Austin London Taxi, a purpose-built black cab from the years before the Second World War. London's taxis have long stood for the capital itself, and a pre-war example places a scene firmly in the 1930s. This car is black with a blue interior, a dark body over a cooler, brighter cabin. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine drives a body that seats six, so a small cast, a family or a wedding party can travel together. Its condition is good. The 1930s date suits period film and TV, and music videos or photography set before the war. The black paintwork gives advertising and editorial shoots a clean, classic London look. At events it makes an arrival car with a story behind it. Weddings and birthdays suit it too. The car is based in Breighton, East Riding of Yorkshire.
