Here are some pics of the London Taxi with blackwall hard plastic tires. A lot of people say the whitewall real rubber tires is the 'chase', well if you have not been looking for the blackwall, it has the same number made as the WW RR ones. IMHO, it's going to be as hard to find.

Now, kudos to DRACKNIGHT for picking up this beauy for me. We traded and then some. He added two HWC Classic Series 2 models. Enjoy these pics, Gill :wave:

Nice ones Gil,
I found the MB London Taxi Today in Miles City MT.
Has the blackwall tires too.
Great Pictures!

Thanks Chuck, DracKnight picked one up and went back and found another one for me. Now all I need are the last three models, #70, #74 and #75. Still missing two from the 2004 NSF Series:

Wave B #14 BMW X5

Wave B #23 Pontiac Vibe GT

Anyway great find, Chuck stay warm up there, cool and raining finally down here in East Texas. Later my friend, Olesarge90/Gill

Looks nice. I have only seen the Taxi with whitewalls.

I'm missing the same three. Wondering if they have been released yet? The Mercedes, Porsche and the Charger. I also have an extra WW tire Taxi for trade for a Blackwall version. I'll keep my eye out for the BMW and the Vibe for you. There are alot of leftovers from '04 around these parts.

Thanks pk,
Like wise on the black wall if I find one now that I have traded for one.

... Now all I need are the last three models, #70, #74 and #75. ...

You're just a little ahead of me.
All I need are: #6, #69, #70, #74 & #75.
Although I have a #74 in the Autobahn 5-pack that recently came out. I'm assuming that it's an alternate color like the Opel.

The way it's being reported is that there are about 7,500 each of the rubber and hard plastic tire versions. It seems the black wheel versions are just now being released.
