Default Greatest Ex Disabled Taxi XR Ever.

Hey guys we spotted this car in echuca on Southern 80 weekend.
Great job they have done with fixing up an old taxi with a re-spray and an XR kit looked awesome.
Sorry about bad pic its the only one I could take.

you sure it's a taxi?

perhaps someone modified it to cater for a disabled family member or something.

Does look pretty cool tho! Were you in an AU?

Formula Uno Motors in Geelong has a (NC) Fairlane/LTD Ute for sale. It has the front end, front doors, rear doors but a ute back on it. It is huge. Sorry no pics. Maybe a Geelong member could go get a few pics.

It looked like an ex disable taxi. Looked to be in good condition too.

I guess just because you are in a wheel chair, you can still have a nice car!

That is what they call a Flash Cab. They manufacture them on the Gold Coast. There are also some Mazda Metro 121's around that they have done. Usually built for families with member in a wheelchair.

It probably cost an arm & a leg, hence its design
