Description
Well-presented London cab; just three owners; excellent service
record; fun history
This bright yellow 2007 TX4 Silver was delivered
new to its first owner in 2007 and used exactly as intended for the next 13
years. During this time, it racked up around 195,000 miles – a walk in the park
for these indestructible machines, plying its trade in Central London.
It
was serviced regularly, with 19 stamps showing in the book, its most recent
taking place in 2019 by which time it had covered 190,342 miles.
The last
owner, the Master of one of London’s Livery Companies, needed a vehicle to use
in the Lord Mayor’s Parade and a plan was hatched to use a London Taxi which
could carry an oversize ‘Tin Can’ mounted on the roof with two seats inside –
the Livery Company in question being for ‘The Tin Plate Workers’.
The
Taxi Driver’s Charity, which has close associations with the ‘Tin Plate Workers’
got involved, and helped select a good one, which was duly dressed for the
occasion.
All done for Charity, money was raised en-route and a good
time was had by all……
Surplus to requirements, the cab was driven
down from the big smoke to the country, MOT’d and driven on to Brightwells for
sale last year and dutifully sold to a local collector. Space now needed so now
you have another chance to own this bit of London fun.
The
MOT expires at the very end of August 2023 and shows just one advisory for thin
front pads. The cab still looks smart and presentable and it
now deserves a new life, offering loads of space, a decent ride and the
last word in reliability.
