Kumiko, Your Taxi Is Here
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.

Reply to this commentWELL.
THAT’S KUMIKO PINK
HAROON
Reply to this comment…and still no Kumiko…
The pink taxi is a really good idea. Sets them apart from the standard white, black, and yellow.
Reply to this commentYep, easy to find that one to flag it down.
Reply to this commentlol thats one ugly taxi
Reply to this commentI 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.
Reply to this commentthat thing is awesome. i ain’t afraid to admit i’m a girl that loves pink too!
Reply to this commenttoo bright of a color for me
probably ‘blind’ me the moment it pick me up, haha
Reply to this commentNot sure if I like it…

Reply to this commentI hate this color
Reply to this commenti wish toronto gets some of these pink cabs:)
Reply to this commentNo 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.
Reply to this commentI’m not sure I would want to ride in a pink taxi if I had a choice.
Reply to this commentHope there is no offense Kumiko.
I like pink, but I don’t think I like it enough on an automobile.
Reply to this commentThat is a pimp ride there.
Reply to this commentThey have a hot pink car like this that does pizza delivery down in Beach Haven! It sure does get your attention.
Reply to this commentNice cab and kimiko website is cool.
