Mercedes Black Cabs

"Graham Harrison" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: I saw a Mercedes (Vito?) based black cab today. I've seen a couple previously but a thought occurred today. I have this recollection that, at some point in the past, one of the requirements for a black cab was a minimum turning circle and that was a part of the reason why we had unique vehicles. Was I dreaming and have they changed the requirement? No, you weren't dreaming. No, they haven't changed the requirements. The Merc Vito "black cabs" have rear-wheel steering to enable them to meet that particular requirement. http://www.randle.co.uk/clients/One80_1.html The video's worth watching... Don't you have to be able to get in with your top hat on as well? MaxB |
