Where
are they now?
Taxi... Taxi....
We are seeking any survivors of the batch of
'FX4' London
style taxis that were operated by Lincoln City Transport under the
"LIMO" name in the late 80's - they were registered in the series
D577 CRW to D596 CRW. The operation of 'buses' this small was quite rare, and
one would be an interesting addition to our collection.
