1958 BEARDMORE Mk7 LONDON TAXI ready for GOODWOOD For Sale

On offer is this very original 1958 Beardmore Mk 7 London Taxi. Finished in Black over Burgundy this is a fairly rare vehicle, supposedly 1 of only 700 built in the 1950's. Still very presentable and useable today, the Taxi turns heads and raises a smile wherever you go!, it is ideal for vintage events and has in the past been used for transporting guests at the Goodwood Revival. Fitted with a Ford OHV engine and 3 speed column change transmission, the car, although from the 50's, has modern features such as hydraulic brakes with the lights and trafficators fitted in the wings.

Inside the cab, the driver sits alone up front with sliding partitions dividing the luggage and passenger areas. Inside the rear passenger compartment there is a large forward facing bench seat and two fold down rear facing seats for additional passengers. The brown vinyl is in good overall condition with much appearing original. The headlining is in good condition and the bakelite switches and ashtrays can only make you smile.

Original Taxi features still present are the meter, working roof light, plated insurance certificate and the London Metroplitan fare tariff - to complete the period look, there are a set of vintage suitcases strapped in the luggage compartment.

The engine runs well and is OK on the road although the 3 speed column change takes a bit of getting used too! - the fuel gauge is not working although there is a dipstick to use.

Overall this is a quirky little thing, ready to enjoy for not a great expense. It would be a great feature at any vintage event including the Goodwood Revival. With the car is a file full of history, invoices, Beardmore information and the original 1958 registration document.

Delivery is available, please note the registration plate shown is not included.

Please visit our website Woldside Classics for numerous photos and a video of the Taxi on the road

Amazing survivor, very solid original paint car. The body is in very solid condition. The floor pan has one area under the drivers feet that needs plating, not a massive job and in a quite easy place to repair. Seat frames and cushions are all present, the cushions need repairs or replacement but the frames are fine. One ...

When people think about a fifties Jaguar, they often look at the XK’s but it were the small saloons that were vital to Jaguar. In fact, if the 3.4 and 2.4 litre ‘Mark 1’ cars had not been introduced, there may well have been no E-type, XJ6 and certainly not the Mark 2 years later. For us, the 3.4 litre (later refered ...
