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.
