Summary

[edit]
Description

Can anyone beat a taxi of this age still working in the UK in 2013? The oldest taxi I've seen by over a decade, it's ridiculous to still see one like this, nearly thirty years old!

If you were an average member of the public, and you saw this parked up in a taxi lot next to almost new Mercs, Citroens etc., which would you get in?! This must've done an astronomical mileage in its time. The oldest I see are around the 2000 mark these days. It's fortunate there's no law restricting the age of public service vehicles like these.

BTW, this is a re-uploaded shot.

The vehicle details for D32 EPX are:

Date of Liability 01 05 2014 Date of First Registration 09 12 1986 Year of Manufacture 1986 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2316cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

So the challenge... Has anyone seen a taxi of this vintage before?!
