Our Take:
- Unique British Icon: The Beardmore Three Door Taxi LT is a slice of British history that happens to also have an unusual charm. These taxis were once the workhorses of London streets, famous for their durability and maneuverability - a staple in British automotive lore.
- Rarity in the US: With less than 600 known to exist in the U.S. and only one in Alaska, this car is rarer than a sunny day in London. Imagine owning a piece of British taxi history that has survived not just the streets, but the wilds of Alaska!
- Quirky Features: This 1963 model boasts a manual transmission, which, coupled with its distinctive taxi design complete with a third door, makes it a quirky addition to any collection. It's a conversation starter, to say the least—dress it up with a "for hire" sign and relive the days when picking up passengers was an adventure.
- Preserved History: The light restoration carried out in 2022 means it retains much of its original charm while also being functional. Plus, with a parts book and connection to replacement parts included, keeping this classic on the road is more feasible than an automotive unicorn hunt.
