1957 Budgie Diecast Miniatures No 13 Austin Taxi Cab
£8.00Price
A model of a London Taxi filled the No.13 slot in the Budgie Miniatures collection. It first appeared in 1957 as Morestone Esso Series No.13 Austin Taxi and was a success from the start remaining in production for 8 years.
Based on the Austin FX3 Taxi Cab, it was a conventional casting of body and base with metal wheels. The driver and the near-side luggage compartment were cast with the silver painted base.
This example is in very good condition. It has had a repaint at some point with some detailing such as a number plate which would not have been part of the orignal paintwork
