Notes
This eye-catching Austin ‘TAXI’ model has a very fresh and vibrant deep green and orange-yellow finish with matching wheels, detailed interior, complete with taxi driver. Matt baseplate with 40H stamped. One little mark on the bonnet detail and a couple on the corner tip of the roof sign (as usual). Couple of little marks besides.
Difficult to find in this condition, especially bearing in mind that it is unboxed.
