Manufacturer description

Austin has been synonymous with taxis since the end of the 1920's, when dealers Mann and Overton sponsored a new Austin cab for London. This LL or Low Loader first appeared in 1934 and became an instant success, due mainly to a very attractive price, as well as being very reliable. Taxi fleets often had their own paint scheme, so the Austin LL taxi-cab appeared in several colours and this version is in Burgundy.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Burgundy Austin Low Loader – 1:76 Scale

Manufacturer part number: 76AT004. The model represents the British Railways early crest period.

The diecast model is finished in a deep burgundy colour, replicating the Austin LL low‑loader that first appeared in 1934. The LL was a popular taxi chassis, noted for its competitive price and reliability, and it was commonly supplied to fleet operators in a variety of liveries.

Taxi fleets often applied their own colour schemes, and this version reflects one of the many bespoke finishes that were used. The model is supplied at a 1:76 scale, making it suitable for collectors of British railway and road vehicle memorabilia.
