London's taxis are famous around the world: as much a part of the capital as the red buses,Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.Their story is a long and fascinating one,with constant challenges being presented to makers,owners and dealers alike.
'London Taxis: a Full History' traces the story of the London taxi from 1897,when the capital's first horseless cab,the Bersey appeared,right up to the present day (then 2014),including the latest Nissan and Metrocab prototypes.
This,the 2nd edition features: - The history of every major model and every known minor make, as well as the prototypes that never made it into production - New information about once-famous names in the industry - Over 150 photographs,some of which had not been published before - Technical specifications and production figures - Information on the very latest models and prototypes.
