Description
1960 Beardmore Taxi Paramount Mark VII. Beardmore built just 700 taxis between 1956 and 1965 and they were perceived to be the Rolls-Royce of Taxis. All coach built with aluminium body work. These later models were fitted with the Ford Consul 1703cc petrol engine. She is an absolute cracker of a cab (Carry On Cabby and all that!), fully restored in 2012 including a rebuilt engine adjusted for unleaded. Re-chromed too. She has done very few miles since and has been used mainly for weddings. Now, there is a business opportunity for you. All that space in the rear cab, with two traditional pull down seats. Here I am pictured today (May 29) out touting for business and enjoying that superb turning circle! Meter still ticks, but it's in shillings and pence! Great order outside, inside and underneath. First owners were a family in Devon who kept her for 42 years! Interesting history file too.
An absolute hoot to drive with a lovely smooth engine.
Let me know if interested but please try and avoid asking if it is "STILL FOR SALE!" If it's listed, then it's available. Delivery can be arranged. I am Martin. the details below.
