Twin City Veterans Taxi

Coming soon to Winston-Salem. Twin City Veterans Taxi is a service of Twin City Veterans Bridge.

The black 1965 Austin FX4 taxi dressed with white ribbons across the bonnet, parked on a brick drive with a bride and groom standing beside it.

The taxi photographed head on at night under a portico, chrome bumper and round headlamps lit, London registration plate EYN 497C.

A bride standing at the front wing of the taxi, white ribbon and a spray of flowers tied to the radiator grille.

The side of the taxi showing the illuminated amber TAXI roof sign and the FOR HIRE panel glowing on the meter inside the cab.

The open passenger compartment of the cab with two pieces of red vintage hand luggage strapped in place on the floor.

He is called Mr. Jones, and he has done this work before.

Built in March 1965, he ran as a licensed London taxi until 1975. Then four years hauling hay on a farm southwest of London, a crossing to Texas in 1981, and 27 years in storage. A 30 month frame up restoration brought him back to the way he left the factory, down to a working meter that still counts fares in shillings and pence.

Sixty years on, he is ready for Winston-Salem.
