When I bought it, back in 1986, it belong to the Taxi washer and had a big hole in the floor that was covered by a piece of plastic. He told me how he used the old cab when he build his house, and how he used to stack it full of bricks. This old girl, nicknamed Heart of Gold, stayed with me for 6 months, two young girls learned how to drive on it and she traveled faithfully up the coast of Australia, a 3000km trip, including some dirt roads. At the end I sold her to a panelbeater for the same price I purchased her. Old Taxi cabs never die, they just reinvent themselves.
