Having just looked at a BBC news item concerning Nissan having an
approved cab for London has reminded me of something.

Some years ago there were a small number of repro Asquith cabs in London
but I haven't seen one for a long time.

Are there any still in use?

Baku has also adopted London cabs as standard around the city.

Fascinating, I see they already have a thousand 'damson' cabs and are
expecting a further 3000 shortly.

I recently saw an F-reg Metrocab working in London, this surely is one
of the oldest taxis still licensed, soon to be a victim of the emissions
policy.

By "emissions policy" I presume you mean the policy that taxi drivers'
life savings should be emitted towards Tim Yeo's bank account.
