Meet Glenys

Glenys, AKA The Little White Taxi is a restored vintage London taxi.

Designed in 1959 with passenger comfort foremost in mind, once ubiquitous in most UK cities and numbering in the tens of thousands, there are less than two thousand of Glenys' sisters left in the UK.

There are only 307 in a roadworthy condition.

It is estimated that there are less than ten of these classic taxis in the UK licensed to carry passengers.

Ironically there are none whatsoever licensed in London.

Nor in Coventry, where they were built.

Glenys was built in 1995.

When Glenys came to Cornwall in May 2020 she underwent extensive mechanical, cosmetic and interior refurbishment.

Glenys is fully accessible to manual wheelchairs and has a step and swivel seat to help those who are less agile on their feet.

(Although carrying a wheelchair bound passenger does restrict the seating capacity to four people.)

Glenys is maintained to the highest standard by Chris and a great local garage. (See 'Our Friends')

Glenys is environmentally conscious and likes nothing better than to have up to 50% vegetable oil based fuel in her tank.
