The FX4 is a taxicab that was produced from 1958 until 1997.
It was sold by Austin from 1958 until 1982, when Carbodies, who had been producing the FX4 for Austin, took over the intellectual rights to the car.
They continued production until 1984 when London Taxis International took over the rights to the FX4 and they produced it until 1997.
In all, more than 75,000 FX4s were manufactured.
The first model of FX4 was fitted with a 2178cc Austin diesel engine and a Borg-Warner automatic transmission.
In 1961, the manual transmission from the Austin Gipsy was available as an option.
From 1962, the Austin 2199cc petrol engine was available.
However, almost all FX4 taxis were fitted with a diesel engine and, until the mid-1970s most had a manual transmission.
In 1969, the cab was altered to amend some shortcomings of the original.
The original Austins were provided with small rear stop and taillights and roof-mounted indicators, commonly known as ‘bunny ears’.
