I think the wonderful feature was fiberglass, bolt on mudguards to eliminate long downtitme should one have an accident. I think they were modified to the style of the Nissan Prairie which only came with a 4cyl 2Litre motor. Either way they were practical and more important offerered driver safety & protection. Sadly their marketing didn't have the support of the diehard taxi industry. Victoria is now looking for a purpose built taxi to include those features, rather than the presently used Falcon or Holden Sedan, Station Wagon or the larger "people movers"
