2003 LTI London Taxi

LTI (London Taxis International) introduced the TXII in 2002 as an update to the iconic London Taxi TX1, replacing its Nissan-sourced diesel with a 2.4-liter Ford Duratorq turbodiesel four-cylinder — the same engine family used in period Ford Transit vans and Land Rover Defenders. Purpose-built as a hackney carriage, the TXII retained the spacious, upright passenger compartment, tight turning circle, and distinctive silhouette associated with London's black cabs. No beast on the road, it was engineered for a tight, roughly 25-foot turning circle per London Public Carriage Office regulations.

Said to have been imported to the United States in 2005, this left-hand drive 2003 LTI TXII London Taxi is finished in metallic British Green over a gray cloth interior with contrasting orange accent trim and grab handles. True to its intended use, the factory passenger partition remains in place, and there is no front passenger seat.

The seller describes the cab as largely unmodified, with recent service said to have included a battery replacement, an engine tune-up and oil change, and a fluid check. The car is fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission.
