Description of 1955 Austin

1955 AUSTIN FX3 LONDON TAXIHERE IS A RARE CAR FOR THE COLLECTION. GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE. GOOD WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS OR LINE UP PHOTO SHOOTS. EVERY YOU STOP COUNT ON EVERYONE TAKING THE TIME TO TALK. THE CAR AT SOME POINT HAS BEEN PAINTED. AT FIRST MY INTENTION WAS TO GET THE CAR BACK TO ORIGINAL COLOR BUT THAN OVER TIME THESE COLORS HAVE REALLY GROWN ON ME AND IF WE KEEP THE CAR WE WILL MOST LIKELY FOLLOW THIS SAME COLOR SUIT. DOING SO WILL TAKE SOME PRESSURE OFF OF KEEPING EVERYTHING ORIGINAL AND GIVE US A WIDER RANGE OF CREATIVITY. THIS CAR IS VERY SOLID AND A GREAT PLAT FORM TO WORK WITH. EVEN DOWN TO THE FLOOR UNDER THE BATTERY WHICH IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO ROT OUT BUT THERE IS NOTHING AND IS SOLID. NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORE TO BE A MUSEUM PIECE. THEY MADE THIS BODY STYLE FROM 48 TO 58 WITH A TOTAL OF 13. 37 IN THAT 10 YEAR PERIOD. THE FX3 REPLACE THE FX2 WITH A MORE POWERFUL 2. 2 LITER GAS AND UPDATED CHASSIS. IN 54 THE DIESEL BECAME STANDARD SO THIS IS EVEN MORE SO A BIT MORE SCARCE. THE CAR RUNS PRETTY GOOD BUT AGAIN WILL NEED A COMPLETE SERVICE AND OVERHAUL IS RECOMMENDED. THE PAINT IS NOT THE BEST SOME OVERSPRAY. PRIMERED AREAS NOT YET PAINTED. DOOR JAMS AND ETC NOT FINISHED. STILL SUPER FUN AND CANT TELL WHEN YOUR ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. ORIGINALLY THIS CAR WAS BLACK. TIRES ARE LIKE NEW. HAVE TO SWITCH ON FUEL PUMP WITH A TOGGLE SWITCH. WE ARE SELLING THE CAR AS IS WHERE IS FOR COMPLETE RESTORE. NO TAXI METER. MAY BE MISSING PARTS SOME LIGHTS ARE MODERN. SOLID FLOOR. TRUNK. FIREWALL AND SOLID CAR TO WORK WITH. THEY HAVE FOUR HYDRAULIC JACKS SO WHEN OR IF TAXI HAD FLAT TIRE YOU TURN A KNOB AND CAR RAISES. AWSOME!!! LOOKS LIKE NEEDS SOME HYDRAULIC LINES. CAR HAS RUST. SCUFFS. SCRATCHES. DUST. DIRT. OVERSPRAY. MARKS POSSIBLE MISSING PARTS PIECES INTERIOR HAS RIPS IN SEATS ETC. INTERIOR ALL ORIGINAL. FUN RARE CAR.
