Offered here is a 17-year-old purpose-built London taxicab that has covered a mere 1,100 miles from new. The vehicle was owned from new by Sultan Qaboos of Oman as part of his vast vehicle collection in London. It was first registered in July 2003 and is the London Taxi International TXII Gold model. This was the top-of-the-range model at the time and has the advantage of full air-conditioning front and rear; walnut dashboard; chrome grille and door handles; intercom system, etc. At further expense a centre console was fitted in the rear to house a fully remote, high quality Alpine sound system, and an occasional fold-down passenger seat in the front. The rear compartment also boasts floor lighting and a fold-down wheelchair access ramp.

This taxicab looks, drives, and smells brand new. Kept in a heated garage since new, it has had occasional use only yet has always been fully serviced annually and maintained regardless of cost and of how infrequently used. The taxi comes with full service and MOT history, and as one would expect is said to run and drive beautifully.
