The London taxi - the classic 'black cab' or 'British cab' of Britain's capital city has been around for over a century. Over time it has changed, but it has always retained its distinctive limousine shape and its famous tight turning circle. And it hasn't always been black! This richly illustrated book, written by an acknowledged expert on the subject shows all the different models, famous and obscure that have served their time on the streets of Britain's capital, as well as dispelling a few myths and sharing a few secrets about the trade. The illustrations include both archive shots and specially commissioned colour pictures of preserved vintage taxis, from the Edwardian era to the present day. A book for anyone with an interest in the subject.
