Kumiko, Your Taxi Is Here
written by John Chow
The latest cab to roll off the production line of Coventry firm LTI Vehicles isn’t so much back in black as pretty in pink.
The staff at the Holyhead Road manufacturer received an order for one of their new TX4 cabs but the London-based customer had one condition - it had to be in candyfloss pink.
Steve Everton the Cell Leader said: “We laughed when we first got the order but immediately got to work mixing the colours. We’re really pleased with the final result and it’s created a real stir in the factory. I dare say it will create a stir on the streets of London as well.”
This is the first pink cab the factory has every produced (will it be the last?). The cab joins the ranks of other famous pink cars, such as Lady Penelope’s FAB 1 and the pink Cadillac from the Clint Eastwood film of the same name.
From inspecting of the above photo, it looks like the interior is still taxi black. That’s good because while I don’t mind riding in a pink taxi, I draw the line on a pink interior! However, I’m sure Kumiko would love a pink taxi that is pink inside.

nice color, nice cab.
i’d like one…maybe not
Would you actually get in something like that?
I would, what’s the big deal? It’s just pink. If I’ve got to get somewhere, I’ve got to get somewhere
well, if you need one urgently, why would you care what color it is.
Nice title but no link?

OMG! I just hit the frontpage headed for a different post and saw that flash past. Bought got whiplash backing up. That’s awesome, nice find there.. Kumiko will love it, it’s perfect.
I would prefer to see Kumiko in a pink Mercedes with her own personal driver

LOL if it wasn’t made of metal, I’d say it’s good enough to eat! During a trip to Bangkok last year, I’ve seen my share of pink cabs…quite a few of them actually.
wow… that’s pink.
I believe only Paris Hilton and Kumiko will enjoy that car… however, since Paris will be in jail.. it’s Kumiko’s turn. LOL
I would buy a car like this, pimp it up a little bit - and my sweet ride is ready
Ladies… watch out!
how much is this taxi costs? I bet Kumiko wants to buy it. She has earned over $500 from blogging… so how much she need to buy the pink taxi
I’m sure it cost more than $500.
BEST…TAXI…EVER!!!!
Haha!!! I love it!! Will you buy it for me?
Nah shes fine, it seen it advertised for $450
Per 10 mile taxi trip
I don’t think so…
She will get that “pinkie” for free at “Pimp My Ride”
LOL
Angie
It hurts! my eyes! they’re burning. All pink…
WELL.
THAT’S KUMIKO PINK
HAROON
…and still no Kumiko…
The pink taxi is a really good idea. Sets them apart from the standard white, black, and yellow.
Yep, easy to find that one to flag it down.
lol thats one ugly taxi
I agree but it’s got nothing to do with the colour. I find the body styling to be quite terrible. I’m sure it’s nice and traditional, but it just isn’t very pretty.
that thing is awesome. i ain’t afraid to admit i’m a girl that loves pink too!
too bright of a color for me
probably ‘blind’ me the moment it pick me up, haha
Not sure if I like it…
This is not my car…I need a MC Laren… cough* john chow, please help..cough* me buy please…!?cough*
I hate this color
i wish toronto gets some of these pink cabs:)
No offense to Kumiko, but you can’t forget about Ms. Danielle. PinkDeals. I’m sure there are more than enough pink taxis to go around.
I’m not sure I would want to ride in a pink taxi if I had a choice.
Hope there is no offense Kumiko.
I like pink, but I don’t think I like it enough on an automobile.
That is a pimp ride there.
They have a hot pink car like this that does pizza delivery down in Beach Haven! It sure does get your attention.
Nice cab and kimiko website is cool.
Here in Taipei, I saw one of those bad boys in black no less! Impressive.
