The Ultimate London Taxi has a big block Chevy
One of the first things that come to mind when one thinks of London is the venerable taxi. It has been an icon for the city and a lot of old school taxis still motor around town taking passengers to their destinations.
The London taxi in this YouTube video is anything but your typical underpowered English roundabout. Computer specialist Steve Birchall spent nearly £60,000 (around $85k USD) ripping out the car's original diesel powerplant and shoehorning in a whomping big V8. There's very little going on outside to give away the car's secret, unless you look toward the rear. Back there, the fully tubbed monster meats kind of give away the game.
Under the hood you will find a big block 502 cubic inch V8 that puts out around 500 horsepower. Apparently is also runs to 60 mph in about 4 seconds. Check out the videos for more info on this ultimate sleeper.

They have very well behaved Drivers who respect their customers. They also provide a MEET and GREET Service. They have well maintained Saloon, Estate, People Carriers (MPV's) and large Public Carriers.
They also dont hike their prices anytime they have standard prices throughout the year. They also provide good discounts on bookings.
