| Pretty in Pink: One-of-a-Kind London Taxi Hits the Streets |
|
LONDON — It's a clear case of "the customer is always right." When LTI Vehicles got the request for a pink London taxi from a customer, it "immediately got to work mixing the colours."
The result is a confection of a car that triggers memories of similar vehicles, including the dusty rose-colored Dodge La Femme and the pink Cadillac from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name — not to mention the Bruce Springsteen tune.
LTI Vehicles describes the pink cab as a "rare one-off special order" by an unnamed customer in London. Of course, LTI Vehicle's TX4 cab is usually painted a somber black.
The latest iteration of the London cab was launched in October and includes a restyled front grille, antilock brakes and improved suspension.
