Tbh, I quite liked the standard NV200 front, but there we go, let's see what the price is and how many parts become a problem, my next cabs not due to sept 2016.

The Words "Hearse" would just about fit along the side of it but you'd be Dead lucky to fit the word "Undertakers" on the space available.

The front axles a couple of inches wider than the rear. I'm wondering how that's going to affect the tyre wear?

Parking could be fun when you line of the rear wheels and find the front don't match. :?

But it's another choice, and I heard today the 'metrocab' will probably be out before the Nissan.

in a few days, plus this
On Thursday, 16th January, 2014 between 2.30pm and 4.00p.m a Zero Emmissions Taxi Event will take place at Potters Field (next to City Hall) and a number of key manufacturers will showcase their plans for a "New Taxi for London"

TfL state that they have been working closely with the vehicle manufacturers on the development of future "zero emission capable" taxis. The new taxis use the latest technology, have a number of enhanced features and give drivers a greater choice of vehicles.

They will also play a vital role in reducing emission and improving the air quality in London.

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL TAXI DRIVERS AND OWNERS

TfL also state that this is a fantastic opportunity to see how exciting the future of the London taxi is going to be and to speak to some of the manufacturers who are going to make it a reality
