Description: | Black taxis have been a common sight on the streets of London since the early days of motor cars.
The distinctive shape and style of the modern cab dates back to 1948 when manufacturer Austin developed the F.X.3 model taxi. The improved F.X.4 was introduced in 1959. Although there were various modifications over the years, the F.X.4 became the standard model taxi for the next 30 years.
This photo was taken between 1985 and 1987, when the F.X.4 Plus taxi was introduced in London. It was a variation on the standard F.X.4. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1985 - 1987 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
