Saw that one too.  Thought it was baloney.  Different though.

So it's basically an old London black cab done up as a limo. I don't what the parts supply of those is these days as they were phased out quite a few years ago now (couldn't be retrofitted for wheel chair access).

It's going to be slow with an incredibly small turning radius.

Looks as if it's been refitted with MGB taillights.

Man, the Wikipedia entry for these is wonderful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackney_carriage
