He is a new one for all to join in on. I am trying to get 50 taxi\'s here representing 50 different countires. List the country where the car or wagon or truck or bus is from and post a picture.

Lets see if this post can be the first to reach it goal.
Here come the first three taxi\'s
From good old London England a Dinky Toy London Taxi #284


From the USA a Plymouth Plaza US Taxi by Dinky Toys #265 Early Edition


Also from the USA another Plymouth Yellow Cab by Dinky Toys #278 Later Edition


All the above toys belong to Dinkycollector and you can see all of his collection at www.dinky-collector.co.uk/

Lets see what we can come up with. Lots of cabs in lots of countries.

In my own collection, I have 18 taxis from 14 different countries - click here to see the list.

Altaya, a Spanish publishing house, released a partwork called \"Taxis of the World\" in France and Spain some years ago, consisting of 70 1:43 scale models. There is a list of all these models on the French Altaya website. The models were made by Ixo models, some of these were later also added to the regular Ixo range.

Take a loo0k at the picture of the rear of the taxi. See the over spray on the body above the fender. Common in Dinky toys of the time as a mask or template was held over the model when the second color was applied by spray. Over spray is quite common and that is one way among many that you tell an original from a restoration. jN
