The Austin FX4 cab tootled around London, England as the successor to the Austin FX3, which in its day, was London's most widely used taxi. Most taxis were fitted with the Austin diesel engine, though a rare few had the gasoline 2.2L engine. The FX4 was the first taxi in London to have four doors.
This beautiful specimen, having crossed the pond, is now in your reach. The car would be great for shows, nice for a unique wedding get-away car, or for those of you with noisy children, thanks to the glass partition between front and rear, a great family car. As long as you have a reliable co-pilot, the right hand drive steering wheel should not be a problem. Our British customers who snatch up our Left Hand Drive Mustangs say the front seat passenger makes driving on the other side of the road a no sweat proposition.
