These are the ones my brother inspected for me, sadly they are all with faults and probably good only as spares really.

Scrap that was plying for hire a few weeks ago, with the driver merrily warning  every customer of the dangers in getting in one of those sub5 year old Priuses on Uber “ Def traps  mi  owld China, safest form of travel the Old Sherbert Dab “ 

Other West Ham supporting , pink Ben Sherman shirt wearing , snowflake hating, stereotypes are available.

The prick who owns Virgin has a black cab so he can use bus lanes in london.

The prick, sorry I mean Prince, who is married to the Queen had one.

And let's not forget Nubar Gulbenkian, the American billionaire, although he jazzed his up a bit

The companies that insure wheelchair access vehicles are cool with taxis as private cars.  The bloke from Fish Insurance said they see it all the time as it's a cheap way to get an WAV.   Yes, there's a company called Fish Insurance.

Using this for a week has been quite a revelation. Apart from the gear knob [fnar] disintegrating, nothing has fallen off or stopped working.. It's a bit grumbly and hesitant from cold, but after that, surprisingly spritely. Cruises at 65 in a surprisingly civilised manner, and seems very frugal. Driving position , and even the seat, pretty comfortable. 

All in all, so far so good. Only downside for most would be the ridiculous insurance situation, I've got a trade policy, and even getting it on that was a bit of a war.

Would recommend, as a cheap way of being able to tote shite about in.

Bit of an update...been slowly going through this, and have replaced..........

Steering idler arm, turbo and manifold, injector seals, and given it a good service. Timing chain chatters a bit on start up " TADT" apparently............

Turbo was pretty much borked, waste gate jammed, and quite a lot of play in the little whirly thing. Injector seals were a doddle to do, as was replacing the steering idler arm.
