Corgi 418 Austin London Taxi – 1960s Die-Cast Classic, Made in GT Britain
Step back into the bustling streets of 1960s London with this Corgi Toys No. 418 Austin London Taxi, a quintessential piece of die-cast history. Maker marked and stamped “Made in GT Britain,” this charming miniature captures the spirit of the capital’s legendary Austin FX4 black cab, the workhorse of postwar London.
Produced by Corgi Toys between 1960 and 1965, this version features a black enamel body, cream interior, and spun metal wheels—the telltale signs of an early-issue release before Corgi transitioned to Whizzwheels. The detailed grille, roof “TAXI” light, and embossed baseplate (“CORGI – AUSTIN LONDON TAXI”) all attest to the precision that made Corgi the leader of the die-cast world in its day.
Condition
Good vintage condition showing signs of age and authentic playwear. Paint loss and light scuffs consistent with use, sticker decals show wear, and windows have gentle frosting from age. Wheels roll freely and the base remains clearly legible. Honest and display-worthy.
Dimensions
1.75" H × 2.25" W × 4.75" L
Weight: 5.7 oz
