Diecast British Taxi

I saw these die-cast British taxis at a tourist shop in Florida.  It sure is green!  Most likely this is a model of the famed Austin FX4 that served as a "hackney carriage" from 1958 to 1982 and was then made by British Taxis International until 1997.  This is a just a cheap Chinese-made toy, but it looks pretty good.

Die-cast British Taxi Cab

This cab has an unmistakeable British feel.  Kind of like this London Phone Booth that is installed at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida.

If you are looking for a model Hackney carriage with a twist.  Check out this 1:36 scale British Taxi that commemorates famous Beatles album covers.
