This is an accurate reproduction of the FX4 London "Black Cab" produced by Austin, Carbodies and London Taxis International between 1958 and 1997. Rather bizarrely for such a famous vehicle, Hot Wheels gave it neither an authentically sober black, green or maroon paint job nor a wacky pink or turquoise advertising wrap (as often seen in London these days) but a livery based on ''New York's'' famous yellow cabs, complete with checks. Oh well. |

This is an accurate reproduction of the FX4 London "Black Cab" produced by Austin, Carbodies and London Taxis International between 1958 and 1997. Rather bizarrely for such a famous vehicle, Hot Wheels gave it neither an authentically sober black, green or maroon paint job nor a wacky pink or turquoise advertising wrap (as often seen in London these days) but a livery based on New York's famous yellow cabs, complete with checks. Oh well.
The London Taxi has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
Col # | Year | Series | Color / Tampo | Base Color | Window Color | Interior Color | Wheel Type | Toy # | Country | Notes / Variations | Photo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
16020 | 1996 | FAO Schwarz Gold Series III Set | Black | G5SP | |||||||
619 | 1997 | 1997 Hot Wheels #619 | Yellow | Unfinished Metal | Clear | Black | 5SP | 95510 | China |
