The Appeal
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire 1 of 5 “Last of the Line Edition” examples of the iconic TX4 black cab.
Heavily upgraded both inside and out by renowned car customisation specialists Project Kahn, the car is equipped with many unique external design elements as well as luxurious interior features. Combined, these upgrades ensure that Kahn succeeded in creating the “Rolls-Royce of black cabs”.
Mechanically perfect and having covered only 4,115 miles from new, this particular example is in fabulous condition and ready to be used as the luxury chauffeur vehicle it was intended to be, or make a unique addition to a car collection.
The History and Paperwork
- First registered in December 2017
- 1 of 5 Project Kahn-designed special editions with an original price of £150,000
- 1 of the 5 last TX4s off the line before production ended
- Just over 4,115 miles from new
- Seemingly well maintained throughout its lifetime
- MOT until June 2024
- Owner’s handbook present in LTI leather pouch
- Kahn quilted leather keyring
- 7 Owners from new
- V5 log book present
The Interior
- Stunningly presented and heavily upgraded interior over the standard TX4
- Quilted leather and perforated Nappa leather present throughout the cabin
- Extra-plush rear seats complete with custom-made pillows
- Rolls-Royce inspired “Starlight” headlining equipped with pulsing LEDs
- Drinks holders in the rear-seat centre console
- Shaggy carpet fitted over the original TX4 floor covering
- The addition of a fridge and TV complete the VIP experience for rear passengers
- Piano black dashboard with Kenwood headunit
- Quilted leather driver’s seat with leather steering wheel and gear lever
- TX4 driver’s floor mat fitted
- Colour-coded seat belts
- Plaque fitted to the rear passenger door denoting the names of every person who worked on the car’s build
The luxurious interior was heavily customised by Kahn and is a splendid place to spend time, even as a driver but particularly as rear-seat passengers. Kahn set out to create the “Rolls-Royce of black cabs” and they certainly succeeded with this limited edition.
There are no noticeable blemishes anywhere on the seats, dashboard, carpets, door cards or headlining, making the vehicle feel as if it just rolled off the production line last week.
The Exterior
- Bodywork is in fantastic condition with no major damage to report
- Two-tone black/metallic purple paintwork is equally impressive, with the top colour licensed for use from Rolls-Royce
- Original TX4 wheels are finished in gloss black
- Tinted front lights and other glass components are in near-perfect condition
- Slotted chrome front grille unique to the Last of the Line Edition
- VIP privacy glass in the rear
The exterior of this very special TX4 has been remarkably well preserved thanks to the extremely low number of miles it has covered from new.
The iconic ‘black cab’ aesthetics are still present on the lower half of the vehicle, but the unique look has been enhanced by a gorgeous shade of metallic purple on the top. Black gloss alloy wheels and VIP privacy glass complete the styling.
Known flaws include some very light scratches in a couple of areas on the tailgate, as well as a mark below the nearside rear light cluster.
The Mechanics
- 2.5-litre VM Motori diesel engine
- Equipped with power upgrade
- Engine and gearbox run smoothly and quietly
- Steering, brakes and suspension components in very good order
- Very tidy underneath, commensurate with the car’s low mileage
Because of the car’s extremely low mileage, it remains in fantastic mechanical shape with no known faults with any of the car’s mechanical components.
Summary
Very unique vehicle with extremely low mileage and in outstanding condition.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you\'re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
