THE CAR IN AUCTION:
The 1979 Austin London Taxi, known as the "Black Cab," is an iconic and enduring taxi that has long defined the streets of London. With its spacious interior, recognizable design and reliable engines, this taxi represents an important piece of British heritage and remains a nostalgic symbol of London.

This example is a real barn find and needs restoration both internally and externally. It has rust spots in many places, mainly at the bottom. The chrome is also weathered and rusted and the window seals are worn. The interior has several different chairs and sofas and is also in need of restoration. It is not technically in order and needs to be checked and needs maintenance.

It is recommended to view and inspect the vehicle prior to placing a bid in order to avoid any disappointment afterwards. Please contact Catawiki to arrange a viewing appointment.

Viewing day: November 11, 2023, 09:30-13:00 CET, in D-41366 Schwalmtal, Eickener Strasse 29, Germany.
