A Century of London Taxis by Bill Munro
It is now just over a hundred years since the first motor cab took to the road in London. Bill Munro has compiled a complete history of the motor taxi-cabs that have plied for trade on the streets of the capital from then right up to present day. Including information on the well-known cabs from Austin and Metrocab, the book also covers less well-known machines from Citroen, Beardmore and Unic, and a whole host of even more obscure vehicles, some of which never got past the prototype stage. Illustrated with many archive photographs, this book written by a cabby and experienced motoring historian is set to be the best volume available on this fascinating subject. And they weren't all black, you know!
Bill Munro started writing on automotive subjects whilst still at school. He became a London Taxi driver and began writing for the cab trade press. His previous books for Crowood include Humvee, Alvis Saracen Family and Centurion.
