Beardmore Motors produced a range of machinery, including ships, locomotives, Sopwith Camels, motorcycles and some fine motorcars. Today they are best remembered for their iconic London Taxicabs, which were considered the "Rolls Royce of Taxis". The Mk7 was the final and most advanced incarnation of the Beardmore taxi. It had a reliable Ford Consul drive-train and an aluminium body by distinguished coachbuilder Windovers. The bumpers were of fibreglass for durability and the design of the machine ensured reliability and easy serviceability. The custom for the period was that after five years of service the Beardmore was fully rebuilt from the ground up and after ten years it was retired, with there being only approximately 700 Beardmore Mk7s that serviced the roads of London.

Finished in Black and Blue with Brown interior this diesel Beardmore is being offered from a collection of promotional vehicles and has lately spent time in storage. The vendor informs us it is in “very good” condition as regards its bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and interior, although due to the recent period of inactivity an amount of recommissioning will need to be carried out before use. First registered on 8 August 1957, this interesting taxi offers a new owner plenty of scope for enjoyment once it has been returned to the road.
