The series investigating great machines that refuse to die continues with a look at the FX4 London Taxi, which for over 30 years enjoyed a virtual monopoly on the streets of the capital. The arrival of a competitor, in the shape of the Metrocab, threatened to make the FX4 obsolete, until it was saved by a new Japanese engine and changes to the trim. Warren Clarke narrates the story of London's mobile landmark.
