THE TEAM
WHY BLACK CABS?
The vehicles are instantly-recognised and loved by the travelling public.
Black cabs were designed and built to last for many years, and handle many miles over their lifetime. They are solid platforms.
legislation is forcing cabs with traditional diesel engines to retire, but the chassis and bodywork are good for many more years.
Many of the design-features inherent to black cabs are born through years and miles driven on British roads.
Black cabs have a relatively large load capacity, including excellent wheelchair access.
The taxis have a famously small turning circle, which is invaluable in constrained town and city centres.
