My dad and i purchased this awhile back as a car to just mess around with but we ended up putting hours and hours of work into it and now it runs great and i think it looks beautiful. What do you guys think and do you have any ideas for what else could be done to it? And if you live in the DC area you may have seen me driving around in it.

This is my 1967 Austin Taxi!

They are actually but in the late 1960's new york and i think possibly Philadelphia paid austin motor company to build a very small number (no clue on the actual numbers but it must be low because ive never seen another) to be used in there cities for companies and other businesses to use as taxi's or for hire cars...

Exactly what I was going to suggest. It would be a big hit at the WDC!!

Try Googling "Woodward Dream Cruise". Even though it happened this past weekend, it is something to see and doo at least once in your lifetime. I almost went 2 years ago but I bought a MM instead.

There should be one on each of the back doors as well.

What you have there is a London Taxi, I used to ride around in them when i lived in Blighty. (England)

Those things corner like nothing else.

It's good to see you and your dad properly attired for the drive. The car's a hoot, and I'd love to see it in the flesh. Perhaps you'll bring it up to the Frederick area or to Big Bat's for one of the fall CAM Doo's, once Gordon gets around to making the announcement(s).:)

It's really a first class restoration, congratrulations! :trophy1::trophy1::trophy1:

BTW, if it is a Ford chasis, it would be a wonderful addition to the indoor display at the Carlisle All Ford Nationals, next summer.

Bump, I am going to take a bunch more pictures tomorrow! And it is under consideration for sale, does anywhere know where a good place would be to advertise a car like this?

E-Bay, and Hemmings Motor News are always good places to sell a car. So is the Fall AACA meet in Hershey Pa.

I really don't want to put it up on ebay, because no one in my family really wants to sell that car badly (except for my mom of course) and if you item sells on ebay it is a contract right? But if we get the the right offer we would let it go because we just dont get to drive it or enjoy it enough.
