    Description

    The iconic London taxi. This one drove to where it has been parked for many years. It is quite rusty underneath and some rust elsewhere. Front floors are pretty much rusted out (see photo). There are probably other issues as well. I know it needs new headlights and tires. The windshield is cracked, but it's flat glass so an easy job for any good automotive glass shop.
    The heavy frame is quite sturdy.
    The engine turns with a wrench on the crankshaft nut. Haven't tried it on the starter motor but I would guess it will crank over. It probably will start up with a few hours' work.
    06705 on the odometer.
    2178cc. Austin diesel engine, four speed transmission.
    This is a storehouse of parts if you are restoring an FX4. As it is, it
    would be great as an eyecatcher in front of a pub or other business with a quick coat of paint on it. I suppose it could be restored as well with a good bit of work.
    The meter (in pesetas for some reason) is not connected.
    Bill of sale only. No title on Connecticut vehicles older than 1990.
    I can deliver this for .50 per one-way mile, or help load it on a truck.
