Super condition, very light use.

Bill Munro is the number 1 expert in Taxi History.

Original Price in 2009 was £7.95. It is now out of print and consequently very hard to find.

In a career spanning forty years, Bill Munro has driven EVERY version of the FX4.

Londoners and visitors to London take the sight of Taxis for granted. The longest serving model is Austin FX4 and as a result it is the most recognisable of motor taxis. The “rich and famous” sometimes requested special build versions for their private use. The standard design as a “cab” is a work of art and has been an icon of excellent design.  In all, more than 75,000 FX4s were built.

This book has many interesting and informative illustrations, it covers an incredible, well explained history and with anecdotes it is thoroughly entertaining. Also guides potential buyers for a chance to buy and refurbish and love an Austin FX4.

Well worth a bid -thanks for viewing - cheers.

I have reduced the starting point.
