Carbodies FX4 Lonton Taxi limousine — 1985

Carl Bildt's election tour car from 1990 to 1991. A seven-seater cab in the style of a classic London taxi. It has, however, never been used as a taxi, but rather as a private limousine. It is left-hand drive and has been in Sweden since it was nearly new.

"This car is complete and in good condition despite having only 100,000 kilometers on it. It's been in a museum for the last 20 years. The most recent car inspection was in 2007. The engine starts and runs normally, but the gear selector is malfunctioning. For the time being, you can only put it in reverse."

Description

This car is actually an Austin FX4, but Carbodies took over production in 1982. This car was built in 1985 and arrived in Sweden in 1986. For several years, it has been on display at Härnösand's car museum. Sold now to make room in the collection for new cars. When it arrived at the museum, the car had a new paint job, and it looks great. Only a few moldings are missing or need to be fitted.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts easily and sounds good. Brakes pull obliquely, and there are issues with the gear selector. This needs to be reviewed, followed by inspection /MOT.

  • Interior condition:

    The upholstery, headliner, and carpets are all very nice. Because this car is designed to be driven by a driver, it has a load space for bags on the right front. The opposite is at the front of English 'London taxis. This has a more luxurious interior and is built like new as a director limousine to be driven with a chauffeur.

  • Exterior condition:

    Body in normal condition. There are no rust marks and only minor dents, so it appears to be in good condition.

  • General condition:

    Cool car with a nice body. It will be operational again after a review of the gearbox and service.

Facts about the model

Londontaxin - en brittisk ikon som överlevde nästan oförändrad i decennier.
Austin FX4 som den hette från början kom 1958. Från 1982 tog karossmakaren Carbodies över ruljansen, och lite senare bildade dom LTI - London Taxi International som fortsatte bygga Londontaxin ända framm till 1997.
Det här exemplaret kom till Sverige redan 1986, och användes under Carl Bildts valturné 1990-91.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
