Notes
This Austin Taxi model has such a gleaming, sleek, black finish, R.A.F. blue interior and base, shaped spun shining wheels. As-new, original, supple treaded tyres. Driver, steering wheel. “Taxi” lettering is complete. Lovely original silver detailing of the radiator, meter and lights (note the factory smudge of silver nearby).
Couple of tiny dots at the tip of the TAXI roof sign ( often found rubbed – this example has fared better than most). Little mark at a wheel arch.
The lighter yellow card box is very bright, fresh and clean, complete with all end flaps. Crisp barely handled feel to the card. Tiny end flap tear and very light wear only.
Very nice! Period price label at an end flap.
