LTI (London Taxis International) History

LTI (London Taxis International)

London Taxis International is the mark of the legendary London taxi, called simply В«the cabВ».


The first В«black cabВ» Austin FX3 appeared in 1948, thanks to the cooperation of companies Mann & Overton and Austin with the manufacturer of the body - Carbodies.

The modern line of taxi begins with the TX1, submitted by the LTI in 1997 to replace the already outdated Austin FX4. The next model TXII appeared on the streets of London in 2002. The most modern model - TX4 is made with 2007 (model TX3 does not exist).


It is worth noting that the design of all В«cabsВ» remains practically the original with the end of the 40s. A huge space for passengers in the back seat, the opportunity to stand at full height, and many other advantages accompany all models LTI.

In the sale appears quite a few of the cars of this brand, but the price is quite democratic. TX1 in good condition will cost about 3 thousand pounds, TXII - in the area of 6-7 thousand. New TX4 sold at auctions rarely and the price is almost no different from a dealer.
