Default The Whitby 75 Taxi..

A few years ago this Taxi was discussed, I've seen it myself parked on the Taxi Rank in front of the harbour.

Maybe member reworht could throw a bit of light on the subject.

It appears like myself many members have visited and have a soft spot for this famous fishing Town.

There was talk of having a meet there a while back, but I don't think anything came of it.

As you know, the only problem when visiting Whitby is the parking situation. Perhaps if an area outside the Town with plenty of space can be found, a meet could be organised in 2014.

Gate Keeper visited the North Yorks moor on holiday earlier in the year a meet at a pub was organised.

A member on here LWB bought it after it finished as a taxi.

Here is where LWB had it on here for sale.

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=113935

It was also at the POL and at Avoncroft.



No info on where it is now..

Yes, Harrison's is just outside the Town.

This car is the Dover White LWB CDTi that appeared at our National and POL in 2012, it was owned by club member lwb at the time, but I'm told by Rain in Estonia (Joshjoshua) that he now has it in his collection
