More than 100 taxis are for sale – many with only delivery mileage
Britain’s largest collection of black cabs is available to buy – featuring more than 100 vehicles, including some with only delivery mileage. The Liverpool-based collection, thought to be worth around £250,000, was hidden away for nearly 30 years.
The collection was owned by a Liverpool taxi master who had made the black cab fleet his life. When the local council banned them, he simply laid the collection up.
This stunning news has sparked interest within the leading taxi enthusiasts’ association, The London Vintage Taxi Association (LVTA). Mixed feelings have surfaced among members because opportunities to buy really good vehicles are now rare, and the spares situation is in flux, with Leacy being the main holder of remaining spares.
