Classic London taxi cab. Slight body damage; engine needs work. Has been garaged for over 30 years.
Since the taxi was purchased at a school auction in 1980, it has been repainted, the running boards have been reconstructed, the tires were replaced, the engine was fixed and running at one point, but currently does not run. Supposedly the taxi came to the U.S. from the Bahamas. The body damage was caused recently by an accident in which the garage door was rammed into the back of the taxi (left corner).
