Odometer indicating 36,058 kilometres (history unknown, likely post-import reading). Seating for six (driver, three rear bench, two fold-down jump seats). Chassis T79882A. Former operator: A Golden Roller (Australian hire car, events and weddings). Located in Acacia Ridge, QLD.
Description / Overview:
The London black cab is one of the most recognisable vehicles on earth, and Fairway Driver examples are increasingly sought after outside the UK for novelty, promotional, and collection purposes. This one has been living the Australian dream as "A Golden Roller," used for weddings and events, and it has been maintained to a standard that reflects that use. The black paint is in good condition, the passenger compartment has been well-kept, and the whole car has the kind of presence that a standard classic car simply does not have. It turns heads before it even stops.
The Fairway Driver specification includes the improved Nissan TD27 diesel, which is a significant upgrade in reliability and refinement over the older Austin/Rover engines used in earlier FX4s. The automatic gearbox is standard and functional. The car retains wheelchair accessibility features and all original taxi fittings including the fold-down jump seats and the "For Hire" roof sign. The driver's area shows honest use wear and the odometer history is unverified, which is typical for former commercial vehicles.
