London Coach was formed in May, 1984 to fill the need for purpose built cabs left by the 1982 decision by Checker Motors (USA) to discontinue cab production. EPA prototype testing was completed in August, 1985. These specialty vehicles were assembled in the US, using glider kits provided by Carbodies and fitted with 2.3 litre Ford engines and transmissions. Two models were available: The London Taxi and the London Sterling. The Sterling was a limousine version of the taxi. Both were available with or without air conditioning. Production for 1985-1986 was reported as 75 to the NHTSA, and estimated production for 1987 – 75. With the introduction of the Rover Sterling by ARCONA in 1987, London Coach was pressured to discontinue use of the Sterling name. Total production is estimated at 80-100. This 1985 model (#44-100), is fitted with left-hand controls and features a comfortable and well-appointed interior. This cab became a family vehicle and therefore was fitted with a passenger seat. A truly rare find, it is a great way to advertise your business or turn heads at car shows and cruise nights.. This vehicle is in great working condition with no rust on the body or in the undercarriage. With 44 000 original miles It runs fine and all the electronics work very well. Although the car is in great condition, it isn’t perfect. The headliner will need to be looked at, the A/C belt will also need to be replaced. This vehicle will be perfect with a little TLC -Recently we have changed a few things : -Flush the braking system and refilled with fresh brake fluid. -New battery-Transmission serviced The condition of the vehicle is consistent with it's age and mileage. This is a used vehicle which is being sold as is. I will gladly answer any questions. Feel free to contact me on ebay or call me 978-332-2120 (Mike). Bid with confidence. NO RESERVE
