See the similar taxi here on the right, but with an earlier simplified style of front mud-guard a Beardmore MkI. Link to "www.theclydebankstory.com" After the war with a shortage of London Taxi's Beardmore was one of the few manufacturers, including Unic, that produced taxis in large numbers. The Mk.II was produced from 1923 onwards. http://www.lvta.co.uk/history.htm -- Last edit: 2012-05-12 15:40:15
