Something for the weblog…Go to
http://www.coys.co.uk/auction.php?auctionID=18&itemID=992
I went to this auction because its estimate was so low…but it eventually sold for £20,000 buyers premium of 15% + VAT. Extremely well restored vehicle and a beautifully finished interior. Appears in Bill Munro’s book “A Century of London Taxis” I left a membership application form on the drivers seat! Roy has the details for the register. Regards, Doug.
Estimate: £8,000 – £12,000
Registration Number: GW 2872
Chassis Number: 3518
William Beardmore and Company was a Scottish engineering/shipbuilding conglomerate founded and owned by William Beardmore, later Lord Invernairn, based in Glasgow and the surrounding Clydeside area.
Following the acquisition of Sentinel Waggon Works in 1917, a range of cars were announced in 1919 to be made by a new subsidiary, Beardmore Motors Ltd., in the Anniesland, Coatbridge and Paisley factories located around Glasgow.
Production of the Beardmore Taxi began at Paisley in 1919. This was a purpose built vehicle designed specifically to meet the Metropolitan Police Conditions of Fitness for London Taxis. It was replaced in 1923 by the Mk2, which had an all-new chassis, which it shared with a new range of light trucks and buses. Introduced in 1926 and produced until 1932, the Mk 3 Hyper was the first cab with four-wheel braking. It was substantially smaller and lighter than its predecessors and was fitted with a 2 litre side valve engine. It had a reputation for quickness and manoeuvrability and was nicknamed the Farthing Cab.
Following the removal of William Beardmore from the board of his company in 1929, Beardmore Motors was bought out by its directors and taxi production was finally moved from Scotland to Hendon, North London in 1932.
The Beardmore Mk 3 on offer here was first registered on 2nd May 1932 and was therefore one of the last Beardmores to be constructed in Scotland and is believed to be one of only two left in existence today. A working vehicle, this fine example of “The Rolls-Royce of cabs” was registered with the Public Carriage Office in London from 1932 to 1953.
The landaulet bodywork is in generally very good condition and beautifully finished in dark blue with a magnificent brown leather interior, which is positively opulent when compared with modern taxis. Importantly, the Beardmore has many correct period features present including fare tables, meter and taxi registration plates.
This charming cab is supplied with UK V5 showing only 2 previous keepers, an old MOT certificate, demonstrating recent use and a folder containing technical information and photographs. This important survivor would be a fascinating addition to any collection of historically significant motor vehicles.
Dear fellow members,
after a long time of struggling by Word-Express to get our good working Weblog transferred to World-Express, the migration is nearing its end, but it is not yet completed. However , much is readable again and I open it for members to visit and read. NOT all is complete, meaning you will meet up with parts that do not react or do not show pictures as it should. But I believe we shall overcome that as well. The main reason I stick to a Weblog is that this one (so far) is free of charge. Do not pay attention to advertisements. We have to except it, but need not to take notice of them. Bear with me for completion and subsequent maintenance with updated news, as it is and must be done in my free (voluntary) time (who has any left?). After the migration in February, many mistakes are left to be updated and many corrections are to be made. I will handle this as time alows:)) and have made a fair start.
With kind regards, Hans

Dear LVTA members,
at Uxbridge during our LVTA presentation we discussed the advert of the Beardmore ‘For Sale’; I took the liberty to put the advert in this Web-log to assist a member for good and defendable human reasons.
I received full agreement for this action and in addition I was asked to start a “For Sale a/o Wanted” Category (which I had, but ‘dormant’) for all members. I have accepted this plea and will carry adverts if send to me in good order (in .JPEG) and in reasonable size etc. but I KEEP the right as Editor to edit and make any changes in text a/o pictures, as seems neccessary. There will be no writing on alterations; it will be published xf3r not at all.
The time it takes to do all this, done voluntarily, makes my day shorter for other things and I will assist, but in practise I wait and see if it stays within appropriate measures. The adverts shall ONLY contain London taxi related vehicles, parts, books, etc. Also it will contain a contact e-mail address of the sender/seller. I will not publish without such information given in each advert. I shall also not go into any discussion between sellers a/o buyers between them. Last but not least, the LVTA and the Editor are in no way liable for any actions possibly resulting from these adverts in whatever way due to failing promises, faulty information or in whatever other possible way.
Adverts (in Word) to be send to hansdoo@planet.nl. Pictures (in.JPEG) in an attachment. ONLY by e-mail. Length of publishing will ’for a start’ be dependent on the number of adverts. The Web-log may NOT be innudated at the cost of other publications as our Club Events, messages, etc. Time will show if this plan of action is visible. If we all keep it ‘within proportion’ it might be of good use for members. If need be we can limit the size of any advert. Members without e-mail, do send your material to James Strugnell for publishing in our Vintage Taxi (VT) magazine, please. His address is in VT.
The Web-log will ONLY accept adverts of a private character. Professional-business adverts are carried in VT.
Members are obliged to report immediately when a deal ends the advert. The Editor cxe1n at any time, without consultation, end an advert. The Editor can consult the General Committee on problems arising.
The Editor may at any time stop this service if circumstances are prefailing. The Committee will be informed.
Let us start this ”Service” and see if it serves the members.
With kind regards,
Hans
Dear LVTA members and interested readers,
Today we had our ‘local’ Annual Oldtimer meeting in our neighbouring village Venray. It attracts people from a large Region. We had a fine day and I brought my cab to promote the LVTA:))
In the link below, you find my impressions. If you visit similar events, do send me your pictures and comments for this Web-log. Some visitors came with a trailer and travelled ca. 200 km’s to reach Venray.
Dear LVTA members and interested readers,

It was wonderful to meet the family Llyod Powell, (Lloyd, Marty, their son and fiancxe9e) from Florida USA. Also Bruno and Hazel Savoldelli from Switserland, and Aurelio and Pamela Rimoldi with their little baby daughter Sveva Maria (3 mnths). Unforgettable in our club history.

Dear LVTA members and Web-log visitors,
Waalwijk was as always again a ‘special day’. Each year it works out differently, but as always it was social, friendly and a pleasure to meet our members and the publc at large that again showed great interest and often some ‘recognition’ and/or ’memories’ of visits to London were ousted. The cabs are and will always be icons of the British car industry and part of it’s culture.
A full report on Waalwijk will follow in VT. We encoutered very human and pleasant moments, especially as Ruut and Marga Pols came to meet us a first time in person, after they each had hard medical times and we hope they will soon recover well. Also Steven van den Dorpel with Heidie and Joris Hodister with co-pilot Peter , all from Belgium, came along in their cabs. The breakdown of the FX3 driven by Karsten Quaschnig, followed by the breakdown of the FX4 engine, cab driven by Hacky (and Lina) Hagemeyer was a very sad intermezzo for all. They had left with both cabs at 7a.m from Cologne, Germany and broke down just before reaching Waalwijk. What a bad luck for both equipes!!!
Ruut Pols has his Beardmore MkVII (“partir c’est mourir un peu”) For Sale, as driving it is too much hard work for him in his present condition. We hope with him that the Beardmore, to which he feels so attached, will get a good home. Perferably by a LVTA member:))

This Annual Event was again expertly organised and lead by Graham Waite, our Archivist and a good turn out of members gathered and their presence made it a succesful week-end for all.
The weather, luckely, was kind and no rain. The vehicles ‘on the rank’ were well maintained and wonderful for visitors to watch.
Chapeau to all participants!
Thanks to Graham Waite for supplying the wonderful pictures, see the link below. This makes it possible for the non-visiting members to get an impression of the presentation by their club.
CLEAN ENGINE, (Source: – The Telegraaf, 28th may 2011)
A passing tourist has a look under the bonnet of a brand new London taxi (cab) (TX4E)
It is one of the first electric taxicabs put to use in the Dutch capital Amsterdam.
At the presentation of the vehicle, in use by the TCA, the Municipality announced to endeavor that in the next 4 years a further 450 electric cabs will be in use. Such vehicles, the Municipality claims, will contribute to cleaner air in Amsterdam.
In the capital some 2500 cabs service the public.
A wonderful Annual Event and a great family outing. Reported on by Mark Cooper, thanks!

THIS STORY IS SPECIAL: AND YOU CAN FOLLOW IT YOURSELF. IT'' S ALL FOR THE GOOD COURSE.
On their first trip they were escorted out of London by four Historical London taxi(cabs) (two Austin Low Loaders, a FX3 and a Beardmore taxi (cab), traveling from the London Transport Museum and Covent Gardens. The LVTA vehicles were headed by our Chairman Doug Cheshire and Mark Cooper, our Publicity Officer and Webmaster.

For your introduction, text from the website:-Welcome to the web site of ‘It’s on the Meter ’an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest taxi journey in history. The expedition will cover four continents, thirty-nine countries, ten time zones and over 50,000 km, in a 18-year-old classic London Black Cab.
Departing February 17th 2011, the expedition aims to raise a minimum of £20,000 for the British Red Cross. Setting off from London, travelling via Europe, Moscow, North Africa, the Middle East, India, China and South East Asia. The taxi will finally arrive in Sydney, Australia approximately eight months later. Along the way, the team will pick up fares including VIPs, journalists, temporary team members and, of course, locals who seem like they could use a lift! The idea is to keep the expedition as pure an adventure as possible with no support vehicles, relying the on the team’s ingenuity and negotiation skills to achieve the distance.Here you can follow our challenge and hopefully help us raise some much needed money for the British Red Cross. Until we embark on our challenge we’ll be keeping our blog up to date. Letting you know how planning is coming along, fundraising and generally what we’re up to!I.O.T.M Team.
Look for details at www.itsonthemeter.com (just click on the link)
N.B. With the latest turbulent circumstances in Northern Africa they may have to alter the planned route. See their planned route on their website.
The identities and personal history of the equipe consisting of Johno Ellison, Leigh Purnell and Paul Archer can be found in the website.

My attention was asked by our Mark Cooper for this special day for the British WWII Veterans, organised annually by the London Taxi Benevolent Association for War Disabled and their Taxi driver's who fully support this Event. CHAPEAU to all!
We can not be greatful enough; like the Airbornes who fought desperately at Arnhem, in and around our home near the bridge and so many lost their lives or got wounded at so many places on our Globe.
Some of them I have the privelage to know personally and we still meet annually at our communal commemmorations. If you see the high age of these men and their enthousiasm you know why they won the War.
N.B. Published by agreement of nvafriends.nl, Webmaster Harm Kuiper, Warnsveld, The Netherlands.
This year the LVTA was represented by James and Sybil Strugnell, Mark Cooper and Hazel Westbury, and Bob and Pat McPhail. All participants had a wonderful week-end with beautiful weather. The pictures were taken by Mark Cooper and kindly send for use on our Web-log, thank you Mark!
Mark told us that Austin owners travelled from the Channel Islands of Jersey, Guernsey & Sark, as well as from the British mainland to participate.
The prize for 'furthest travelled' went to a man who had driven his Austin 7 all the way from Gwent in South Wales (over 120 miles each way!)
The entourage was great, the island perfect for this event and seeing the pictures might make members decide to come along a next time. It was 'all in one ' a lovely week-end.
Thanks to our member Viv Orchard who organises the event bi-annually. See you all again in 2012.
All participants, young and older, made it work and clearly enjoyed meeting each other, the days spent on the Island with the classic vehicles and trips made )
