2010 LTI TX4 London Taxi Gold

Highlights

  • The iconic ‘black cab’ Hackney Carriage
  • Fitted out in its gold factory spec, the highest production tier, with extra features
  • Only 71,426 miles from new
  • One previous owner from new
  • New used commercially - only as a private chauffeur

The Appeal

It’s as British as fish and chips, as Cockney as the Bow Bells and as iconic as Elizabeth tower. The London Black Cab is instantly recognisable. The TX4 took heavy inspiration from mid-century Austin styling, reflecting it with a retro-style grill, a friendly profile and soft, rounded lines. There’s simply no mistaking it. 
This example boasts the Gold factory specification - LTI’s best production line interior -  and comes with a relatively light 71,426 miles on the clock, as it's only ever been used as a private chauffeur, never as a commercial vehicle. Whether it’s to become your quirky new daily driver or a curiosity in your car collection, it’s a superb future buy. 

The History and Paperwork

  • Valid MOT until July 2023 with minor advisories
  • Stamped service booklet all the way up to 2019
  • Owner information and warranty booklet included in sale
  • Only 71,246 miles from new, unusual for a Hackney Carriage

The Interior

  • The TX4 Gold boasts the best-appointed interior for the model, setting a distinct executive tone
  • Stylish burr walnut dashboard, console and accents in clean condition
  • Extra front seat in grey leather
  • Special grey leather seating
  • Fitted with Wilson carpets
  • Grey seating shows minor sagging but no scuffs or tears
  • Black ‘salt and pepper’ Wilson carpets in good order with standard age-commensurate wear
  • Full rear air conditioning and intercom with no reported faults
  • Tinted windows throughout
  • No reported technical faults to any instruments

The Exterior 

  • With a distinctive front and retro-style curves, there’s no mistaking the LTI Taxi
  • Finished in special Rolls Royce Dark Metallic Blue paintwork
  • Some minor marks commensurate with age, but minimal
  • Chromework appears all present and correct, including the Austin-inspired grill
  • No major signs of corrosion or paint loss, leading to a very clean example
  • Wheels look to be in very good shape with a fine set of tyres
  • Underside of vehicle is in fine fettle
  • Some signs of surface corrosion, but nothing that appears to be of concern
  • Overall, this is a clean, well-kept example that’s been kept in fine order

The Mechanics 

  • Powered by the 2.5L VM Motori R425 I4 turbo diesel engine
  • Chrysler 545RFE 5-speed automatic
  • Engine bay is clean and well kept with no major issues we can discern
  • Latest MOT shows a minor oil leak and fuel line corrosion
  • Vehicle reportedly runs exactly as expected with no major faults reported

Summary

In many ways, the TX4 was designed to be the ultimate evolution of the city car. With their famous 25ft turning circle, an impressively hard-wearing engine and their iconic, retro appearance, it’s no wonder they’re the most ubiquitous model of the Hackney Carriage ever built. All of those features make them a superb candidate for a quirky daily driver. 
Boasting fine fettle throughout, and that impressive factory specification, this TX4 Gold is a highly impressive example of a motor that’s known across the world. 
Of course, if you don’t want to be hailed while on the way to the supermarket, you might want to cover up the sign...
