Gag Halfrunt wrote There's an Austin 12/4 Taxi with a VU registration in Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent but it is listed as a 1930 model. /vehicle_27486-Austin-12-4-Taxi-1930.html I'll leave it to the experts to decide whether it is the same car. The USA taxi is likely to be the same as VU8765 filmed in 1942 in the USA also. The appearance of the taxicab looks the same without the folding landaulette roof, however views of the left side are not seen.

This one is probably 'GH 2362' again seen also in Royal Wedding 1951, Random Harvest 1942, and likely in The Paradine Case 1947 also. /vehicle_192722-Austin-12-4-Taxi-1930.html /vehicle_742694-Austin-12-4-Taxi-1930.html /vehicle.php?id=40832
