Only by blind men?

those wheels look like they're off a Rolls Royce

Quiller · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2010, 05:16:51 PM »

Hmmm, the tyres are a bit spindly for a Roller...

To what name does this taxi hail?

It's a modern London Taxi proposal by Asquith Motor Carriage, Great Yeldham (Essex) from 1996.

Yes that's right!
Do you happen to know the exact name they gave it? Puzzle locked for you

Quiller · « **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2010, 07:42:34 PM »

I've decided to give you the point, as you're 99% there. It's the Asquith 'New Taxi'

Who built this taxi to gain a point?

~~LTI TXII '2002?~~

Geely Englon SC7-RV?

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2012, 04:11:30 PM »

Not a Geely.

Range Rover base?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2012, 05:42:54 PM »

I am not 100% certain what the base is, but I am 95% sure that it is not a Range Rover.

To return to dzima's question, is it Chinese??

Djetset · « **Reply #17 on:** October 18, 2012, 02:52:15 AM »

No, it is not Chinese.

misguided attempt by LTI (London Taxis International) to update the classic black cab?

Djetset · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2012, 06:31:01 PM »

Not an LTI creation.

The doors look like they came of a Fiat Multipla. Any connection there?

Djetset · « **Reply #21 on:** October 22, 2012, 12:46:25 PM »

I think it may have been based around a Fiat Multipla, but do not know this with 100% accuracy!

Austin · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2012, 07:33:20 PM »

Prototype Asquith taxi, better known for their vintage style creations.

Djetset · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2012, 09:05:56 AM »

Very apt that Austin would correctly identify a taxi!

Another point is yours, as this is the prototype Asquith Taxi. Well done.
