Introducing our 1929 Austin Stracken High Top Taxi

 Allow us to introduce you to our wonderful 1929 Austin Heavy 12 High-Top Taxi. One of the last surviving 'Stracken' models still running in the UK, this vintage workhorse has seen a world war during its time working the London streets and three decades of service to the taxi trade before finally retiring. She's been running for over 80 years, but remains in pristine condition, inside and out, with all the remaining fittings you'd expect to find on a London cab - including a working meter and even the original suitcases used to carry those all important precious items

The Perfect Car For The Perfect Occasion

 As a 7-foot-tall pre-war, hard working licensed taxi cab on the streets of London, you'd expect the Austin High Top to be able to handle any situation with grace and it does - and then some!

With a massive rear space that easily seats five (including a bridal gown!), acres of legroom and soft red leather interior, our Austin gives you timeless style and elegance for that special day. It's got a rear folding hood, essentially becoming semi convertible for those lovely summer drives and due to the design of the car, passengers feel no wind resistance - important for that carefully styled hair-do!

With over 20 years of experience in chauffeuring to some of the most beautiful weddings, birthdays and special events, we're confident you wont find a more original, beautiful or historic car for your special moment.

Our rates include hire of the vehicle and chauffeur, pick-up, drop off at Church or Registry Office, and drive to reception. The car is available for photos at all times during the trip, bringing your photos from the special day to life with a glorious slice of British history!

Drop us a line or email us now to find out more - our 2009 bookings are going fast. We look forward to making your special day extra special.
