Vehicle description
This Lovely London Cab is just out of long term private ownership in an eclectic collection of beautiful automobiles. This is the timeless and often recognized London Cab, used in movies, television and most importantly real life. This TaxiCab features a beautiful blue vinyl top with giant sliding sunroof and rare front seat instead of cargo space. The inside of the cab is attractive and welcoming. It smells like a jolly good time and will take you to a different place and era as soon as you step inside. I got happy thumbs up and hoots from the first 5 folks I encountered on a Sunday jaunt to the monthly "Donut Time" auto show. Even at the show among the exotics and high dollar classics the handsome and utilitarian London Cab was a favorite and I even let the kids and families sit inside much to their delight. I was also surprised at how many folks knew exactly what it was. The gentleman who owned this cab is slimming down and still has one left. I have sold 2 others Cabs for him that were nowhere near the condition of this one. This vehicle, because of its age, takes a seasoned operator. The engine is smooth and easy to start. The shifting is crisp and exact. I prefer to start off in second from about 5 mph for a smoother ride. The brakes take a couple pumps at first and could be firmer I believe. I drove it for an hour straight that day and it was enjoyable. The response from passers-by definitely keeps one in the spirit of motoring as its fun to see so many happy faces. The vehicle can be shipped anywhere and I can assist in organizing that. The title is here as well, thanks, harris
