The London Taxi is heading down under, thanks to a deal struck with authorities in Perth, Western Australia. A test sample of 98 white used factory demonstrator ‘hot-climate’ TX4s have been shipped to Australia, as part of a trial to test the iconic vehicle there, with a view to a further 200 being shipped out in 2014.

The cabs, which form the first large export order for the recently renamed London Taxi Company, will be taking to the streets in Perth within the next few weeks.
