The Austin FX4 cab, introduced in 1958, became an iconic symbol of the London street scene. Designed by British manufacturer Austin, this car was an excellently designed cab known for its spacious interior and practical functionality. The model featured a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, making it a reliable choice for cab drivers on London's busy streets. Equipped with a manual transmission, the FX4 offered a comfortable ride for both driver and passengers.
Over the years, the Austin FX4 received several updates, but its classic lines and recognizable design remained. These cabs were often seen as an essential part of everyday city life, taking thousands of rides and telling countless stories. The FX4 was produced until the 1990s, but the 1970s models, such as this one from 1970, are often considered particularly desirable because of their authentic look and historic value. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend you come to the viewing day.
