Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2014-01-02 23:13	@Lateef: Since this is a fake British scene filmed in Australia, the number plate could just be a prop. It's not mounted in the usual position, which makes me suspicious.
Lateef ◊ 2014-01-02 23:14	Maybe the plate came with the taxi as it was shipped over, as it looks real enough.
dsl ◊ 2014-01-02 23:26	Is the grille normal? Gap to bonnet edge looks odd?

marioman3138 ◊ 2014-01-03 06:51	I would say that is correct
Sunbar ◊ 2014-01-03 12:38	Almost the same but there are differences between the taxis... Movie car has wing mounted mirrors both sides whereas the auction car has driver's side door mirror by the A pillar, plus single wing mirror on other side and radio aerial not seen. -- Last edit: 2014-01-03 12:38:48

Sandie ◊ 2014-10-09 01:12	Bumper looks fake, the bumpers fitted to the taxis had over riders missing here. Interesting that the car in Kegare's link shows the same non-standard wheel trims and bumper. B92XJD is a cab exported in 1997, I think the plate is genuine so listing as 1984 Carbodies FX4R.
