Can you imagine France without its café terraces? No. Londoners can't design London anymore without its typical black cabs! It is true that the same model has existed for half a century! The Austin FX4 taxi was produced from 1958 to 1997 by various manufacturers. The TX series that succeeded it and then the electric LEVC in 2019 use the same design. Not out of nostalgia but in order to be identified by customers in traffic, the observation having been made that taxis based on ordinary cars are ignored!
