Your guide to the types of cabs available.

FX4S Taxi

Carbodies FX4S Taxi.
2.2 Austin engine, 3 speed auto gearbox. No power steering. These taxis have all but disapeared from Londons
streets. No frills and a very basic interior and are really getting on
a bit now.

Carbodies FX4R 'Plus' Taxi.
2.5 Rover engine, 3 speed auto gearbox, power steering. This is the basic model London taxi. There are still quite a few of these old smokers about, but probably not for long.
Watch out for worn piston rings and
rusty sills.
FX4R Plus Taxi
Fairway Taxi LTI Fairway Taxi.
2.7 Nissan engine, 3 speed auto gearbox with overdrive. Power steering, electric door mirrors, central locking. Drum brakes front and rear. This is an updated version of the 'Plus'. There are still thousands of these taxis plying for hire on the streets of London. It was named in relation to the London cabbies favourite sport - golf!
LTI Fairway 'Driver' Taxi.
As above but with updated windscreen wipers, updated suspension and disc brakes at the front. This model was built up until the introduction of the TXI in 1998.  
Fairway Driver Taxi
Grey FX4 Plus Taxi A grey FX4 'Plus'.
I found this cab at a South London garage. It was in all honesty an awful colour. Ron Wengraf finally sold it for me in Paris!

Arthur McArthur's Taxi Arthur McArthur's V8 Chevrolet engined taxi.
Some people might think that this is going a bit far, but have you ever tried to get a 2.5 Rover up Highgate hill?

Check out what our American cousin Arthur has done to the dash on this FX4. Just wait until he's finished with the outside!!
