Description: | This taxi is an example of the TX1 model, first introduced by London Taxis International at the London Motor Show in 1997. The styling is similar to the Fairway model that preceded it, but its curvy 'jelly mould' body shape allows for greater passenger space and comfort. Air conditioning, improved accessibility and safety features made the journey more pleasant for both the driver and passengers.
The taxi was donated to the London Transport Museum by London Taxis International, Britain's main manufacturer of purpose-built taxis, renowned for producing the iconic 'black cab'. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 2000 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Manufacturer : London Taxi International | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
