Personally, I think the Focus and Astra are too small for the job, instead I'd use a Mondeo or Vectra. That's not to say that the smaller cars aren't licensed though. What I saw today though was ridiculous, a Ford Fiesta on private hire, anybody else seen one working? |

Nearly crashed my motor the other day when I saw a London licensed PH Fiat Punto.

You mean it nearly crashed into you as the clueless driver was probably lost again. 
Punto? that's good, you should see some of the London Minicab fleet, great if your dwarf, useless for anything else. |

I believe Addison Lee Minicab's still run a few 'Taxy bikes' ( )
They're not very popular, as I've yet to witness one with a pillion onboard. The LTDA took them to court, as they originaly advertised them as London Taxi's with two wheels.
