‘Rolls-Royce of London taxi cabs’ heads to auction

A fully converted London taxi which cost £150,000 when new is heading to auction next month.

Billed as the ‘Rolls-Royce of London taxi cabs’, the TX4 was extensively customiseed by specialists Project Kahn with its interior retrimmed in high-quality quilted leather. The one-of-five vehicle’s rear seats have also been fitted with custom-made pillows to make things even more comfortable.

Drawing inspiration from a feature included in the latest Rolls-Royce models, the taxi incorporates a headlining equipped with pulsing LEDs that recreate the night sky. There’s a drinks holder in the back, too, alongside a fridge and full television setup.

Despite its high cost when new – and having only covered 4,120 since it was first delivered six years ago – it’s now going under the hammer at the NEC Classic Motor Show Sale at the NEC in Birmingham on November 11 with a guide price of between £30,000 and £35,000.
