SUMMARY
One of only five Project Kahn 'Last of the Line' Edition TX4s, costing £150,000 when new and just 4,120 miles.
DESCRIPTION
Offered here is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire one of only five 'Last of the Line' Edition examples of the iconic TX4 Black Cab that cost £150,000 when new in December 2017. Heavily upgraded both inside and out by renowned car customisation specialists, Project Kahn, the car is equipped with many unique external design elements as well as luxurious interior features. The purpose of these upgrades was to create the Rolls-Royce of Black Cabs.
Having covered only 4,120 miles from new, this particular example is in fabulous condition and ready to be used as the luxury chauffeur-driven vehicle it was intended to be, or would make an interesting addition to any car collection.
Some of the specification is listed below and we encourage all interested parties to come see the car for themselves at the NEC to really understand the level of expenditure and expertise that’s been lavished on this remarkable Taxi:
- Quilted leather and perforated Nappa leather present throughout the cabin
- Extra-plush rear seats complete with custom-made pillows
- Rolls-Royce-inspired 'Starlight' headlining equipped with pulsing LEDs
- Drinks holders in the rear-seat centre console
- Shaggy carpet fitted over the original TX4 floor covering
- The addition of a fridge and TV complete the VIP experience for rear passengers
- Piano Black dashboard with Kenwood head unit. Kahn quilted leather keyring
- Quilted leather driver’s seat with leather steering wheel and gear lever
- TX4 driver’s floor mat fitted. Colour-coded seat belts
- Plaque fitted to the rear passenger door denoting the names of every person who worked on the car’s build
- The iconic 'Black Cab' aesthetics are still present on the lower half of the vehicle, but the unique look has been enhanced by a gorgeous shade of metallic purple on the top
- Slotted chrome front grille unique to the 'Last of the Line' Edition
- Black gloss alloy wheels and VIP privacy glass complete the styling
Fitted with the 2.5-litre VM Motori diesel engine equipped with a power upgrade, the car presents as you would expect considering it's only covered 4,120 miles from new. Offered at a fraction of its build cost (£150,000) just six years ago, combined with the exclusivity of owning one of the last five TX4s made with a unique specification, this is an incredibly rare opportunity and one that will reward a closer inspection.
