London Cab For Sale in The USA



I’m English, and after many years in Texas, I decided to get myself a taxi as a fun car. It’s probably an ex-pat truism that you become more English the longer you are away from England, and so it was with me – I would buy Union Flag socks, hunt down spotted dick and treacle sponge, and ultimately, I bought and then sold my London Black Cab. In the process of owning and running and repairing said London Cab, I started to post on my little site about them and now I have other people contacting me, wanting to buy and sell.

To make it easier, and so that people don’t ask me if mine is still for sale, check out all London Black Cabs for sale in the USA at the special corner of my website that seems to be attracting a lot of attention these days. You can always put a comment in if you want to profess your desire. I even rented my car out for a photo shoot, and I know other people lend theirs out for movies, commercials and weddings.

Here are the details of the cab in South Carolina that’s for sale – if you have interest, please use the form below or call 323.428.3748  to get in touch or comment on this post and I’ll connect you. It’s black and crocodile and has ridiculously low miles for an eighties car. I have to imagine that my cab has at least 200,000 miles on the streets of London under its belt.

“I’m in Charleston, South Carolina :)…my London Cab is newly painted, has a GPS, Black on Black with faux croc interior…it’s a 1984 , suicide doors, runs on propane, has about 49,000 miles on it…asking $15,000, it runs great but the battery dies if your not careful  you really need to watch if you leave a light on or leave a door open it drains  quickly, the air conditioning and heat work has a great sound system and video player in it!”

Having owned a black cab for a year, having AC is huge – and the battery drainage is entirely normal. The internal passenger compartment lights are taken from an age when lots of amps were pushed through robust wires to make a faint orange glow. So they use a fair amount of power, as do the running lights. Suffice it to say, make sure the doors close properly when you park.

      1. I’m afraid not. I can give you the details of the guy who bought it from me if you like. Meanwhile, I’m going to update the page to reflect the sale.

          Hi to all,
          I am new at this kind of emailing – commenting and relpying. I see that my emailing 3 people was redundant as it all lands up
          on the same screen. Sorry for the blah, blah, blah. One blah would have sufficed.
          Ok, happy to hear from anyone as I would like to find a new home for my 1984 London Cab.
          cheers
          Tess

        I saw this converstation from May. I have a London Cab I am selling.
        It’s a 1984 in good condition. I bought it while taking a studies program at Cambridge University in 1989.
        So I have had it for 23 years and probably put on less than 50 miles in that time as I bought it for it’s looks.
        I had it shipped from South Hampton, England and restored it over here. It’s in good condition and I have all the papers on the cab.

        I don’t have it on a web site but I do have a website for my design company http://www.tessgiuliani.com where you can
        also get in touch with me as well as the email above.
        I have great pictures of the car inside and out. I could send them via email if you contact me. If you are still looking I can get this information to you.

        If you have purchased a cab maybe you could direct me to other ways to contact people who might be interested.
        Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.
        Cheers

      Hello …I have (3) 2004 London Taxi’s for sale (one runs, one will run once the “cam shaft sensor” is replaced and we have a new one, the other is for parts). I was wondering if you knew anyone who might be interested in buying them. We are selling all three as a package deal. I am in Florida but the taxi’s are Orange Co, CA. Thank you for any information you can give me. Lori Hilton

      1. Wow – how much for the package? I can certainly advertise them on my blog for you.

          Hi Ron,

          I saw this converstation from May. I have a London Cab I am selling. I don’t know how to go about selling it or even pricing it and I thought maybe you could direct me.

          It’s a 1984 in good condition. I bought it while taking a studies program at Cambridge University in 1989.
          So I have had it for 23 years and probably put on less than 50 miles in that time as I bought it for it’s looks.
          I had it shipped from South Hampton, England and restored it over here. It’s in good condition and I have all the papers on the cab
          but I have no idea how to sell it or what cabs are going for.

          I don’t have it on a web site but I do have a website for my design company http://www.tessgiuliani.com where you can
          also get in touch with me as well as the email above.
          I have great pictures of the car inside and out. I could send them via email. Do you have a blog?

          I sent this note to Debbie who you corresponded with to see if they were still in the market.
          I would be very grateful if you can make some time to give me a few pointers. Hope you are enjoy your Labor Day.
          Thank you.
          Cheers
