Offered for
sale is a 1960 Beardmore London Taxi. It has been used for the past 8 years as
a shuttle vehicle at our Saratoga Springs NY Inn. The car was purchased on eBay
but was originally used in London England. The four cylinder engine starts and
runs well. The clutch is strong and brakes were recently serviced. The body is
made out of aluminum so there is no rust. The paint is very good but does have
some fading and spotting on the hood and elsewhere - nothing serious. The back
window has some discoloration of the tint but is clear when looking from the
inside. Windows are manual pull-up versions without a crank. Taxi on-duty and
directional lights work well. It has 4 brand-new radial ply tires that cost
over $1000. Handling is vastly improved with radial vs bias-ply tires. The
speedometer is broken but it has about 38, 000 miles on it. The taxi drives and
handles quite well for a 55-year-old vehicle. The turning radius is
extraordinary. The lettering on the door is a decal and is very easy to remove
with a hair dryer. The car is sold as is and carries no implied
warranty.
