*Built to the special order of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

*Many special additional features
*Automatic transmission

This London Taxicab was formerly owned by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, the world famous composer and musical theatre impresario. Lord Webber used the taxi as a mobile office while being chauffeured around his London productions, taking advantage of its tight turning circle and access to the bus lanes! First registered in 2007, this is an example of the London Taxi International TX4 Gold, the top-of-the-range model at the time, which has the advantage of full air-conditioning front and rear; walnut cappings; intercom, etc. This vehicle was further modified at great expense to Lord Webber's individual specification to include a full leather interior; privacy glass; dropdown television screen; and a fully integrated remote-control Alpine sound system. 'LM56 NDK' has never been used as a licensed taxicab, hence the warranted low mileage of only 45,425. The vehicle has always been kept fully serviced and is described by the vendor as mechanically excellent. It said to be very solid with only some slight bubbling and age-related marks on the bodywork, and is vendor-rated as either good or very good in every respect. Affording the convenience of automatic transmission, this is a unique vehicle with the potential for a multitude of uses.
