That's exactly what I'd do - you don't need a courier and your engine is carried on its own wheels, with a lot of extra spares!

What kind of price do you think I could get for my current taxi if I sold her as she stands? Engine ceased...

I think that if the body is good a Fairway with engine seized and Uk registration could be sold for around 500 €

Well yes that'll be the best way to sorted it. If you get a newcab from UK you could buy another engine and get it down to your cab and then no more needed to chuck your body for few damned quid, and only the price of wheels ?n tyres.
Some are looking for parts around there if you have enought place you could try selling bits?n pieces, that could be a solution helping financing.

Deposit paid for a new taxi. 1997 in very good condition I hope. Will go to the UK on Tuesday and collect it, then drive it back. This means that I'll need to make room for it. So, my old 1994 with the broken engine is for sale. I'll be putting it on Le Bon Coin for 750 Euros and hope to get 500 or a little more (to cover some expenses). But, in the meantime, if there is anybody here who is interested, then let me know.

Bye for now. Kent for Pezenas online

Kool enjoy your trip and good luck, keep some parts for yourself

Well, now back after an interesting trip from London to Pezenas. Here she is: www.pezenas.eu/taxi-londonien . Can't fault her apart from a rusty taxi sign on the roof and a few odd bubbling paint spots around the body. Does anybody know where I can get the orange perspex roof taxi sign? I have looked everywhere in England I can't find one. The one on my second taxi (braking for spares) is not good.

Thanks again.

HIHO Kent.

Well is that the old cab or is she the newone? Whooow, She look really smarty full options congatulations.
For the orange sign I think some off us had rebuilt that stuff from a plate perplex sheet, shaped it with one of those hot air blower,painted black letters and orange surface inside face, and changed the hot bulb lampe with led bulb lamp, not to burn the brand new sign. Easy work buddy . Byeeeeeeee!

This is the new cab. Yep, she's pretty smart, and runs well. The engine is as sweet as a nut. The old cab is now up for sale for parts or a renovation project. It's just the engine that needs the work.

As for the orange taxi sign, I'm pretty useless with handy-work like that, so easy work for some people, is quite challenging for me If anybody wants to make one for me, I'd be happy to pay. Let me know. I just know I'd mess it up. Good idea about the LED's. I can do that bit.

Wow! It does look good indeed - and luxurious too - puts some of our old cabs to shame!

LTE is selling a hire sign lens in frosted plastic, though not the orange peel which I suppose comes in front, but at least you have the lettering - without the wheelchair pics: http://www.londontaxiexports.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=BPFG008

HI Kabhi. Yes, I have spoken to them already about this, and they say that the perspex has to be cut to size too. It is probably going to be this solution unless another can be found.

Thanks for that.
