That Matchbox (Mattel) reissued the 'London Taxi' and didnt put opening doors on it. I got this new one and started thinking that maybe I had one from quite awhile ago. and guess what? I was right, for once. I did have one stashed away in a box. Just wish this new one had doors that open.......

Sorry, that black one has been well loved. :)

Nice find Chuck. I traded for one and don't you know I found one the next day. Oh well. I like the well loved one with the opening doors!!! DO YOU HEAR US MATTEL!!!

THIS IS #700 I do believe!!!

that old one looks cool, what year did that come out? I like the opening doors.

The black one rocks! I rode in a taxi while overseas one time that kinda reminds me of your taxi.

This little guy (#17B) from the late 50s didn't need doors that open !

That pic reminds me of the UPS trucks driving around town with the side doors open.
