1958 Beardmore Mk 7 Paramount Taxi
This 1958 Beardmore Mk 7 Paramount Taxi is a unique piece of automotive history. Manufactured in the United Kingdom during Britain's post-war motor industry boom, it reflects a period when London taxis were iconic symbols worldwide. This specific example boasts distinctive features such as its open luggage platform at the rear and an Argo taxi meter on the dashboard, adding to its character and allure while serving as a testament to its original purpose. The vehicle proudly displays a striking two-tone black and burgundy paintjob over brown upholstery—a perfect blend of classic British charm and timeless elegance. Under the hood, it is powered by a reliable 1.6-liter Perkins diesel inline-four engine, mated to a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, highlighting durability as one of its key attributes. This rare find is currently situated in California, USA after being transferred there from its original city of Fullerton.
