The biggest changes? The engine (I don't know if the old model was also VM-powered, if it was, it probably WASN'T this common-rail version), and the anti-lock brakes. <br>  By the way, I believe I've seen pictures on TV of these cabs with "non-traditional" paint jobs. I'm assuming it's that "ad-wrap" type of "paint job" you see on inner city buses.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Howard Kerr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2006 1:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Where to, gov'na?

They're not slow - especially on the streets of London, they're more than adequate [heck knows the cabbies drive them at a rate of knots]. <br><br>Stephen Fry [a British celebrity] drives one as his daily car - on the basis that they go zillions of miles needing very little maintenance, and that tiny turning circle makes them very useful in city streets.

As it is a 2.5 ford engine along with a turbo which can take anything at traffic lights. However I know in Edinburgh people will be buying one to get it up the drivers who bought a Peugeot "E7" which is more like a van conversion. As LTI always builds taxi's that are at the best of ability for safety.<br><br>-ROBIN]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robin Farrer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2006 11:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Where to, gov'na?
