 The Chinese Geek company who is the manufacturer of the London Electric Vehicle Company produces a London Black Taxi ( plugin with a 1.5Litre engine) and a van based on their taxi.
They are currently conducting trials with a pop-up top taxi camper van. An idea that I had using the 1/24 Revell Austin FX-4. Which is the same model as the Aoshima kit.
Trials with the Royal Mail are underway, which has given me an idea for a whole new range of FX-4 based versions.
In the RW the FX-4 has been converted into an electric taxi,  water taxi,  convertible,  tow truck,  pickup truck and hearse. Coffee companies are also  converting them into mobile stores for events. Some have been fitted with a hatchback door and a side opening flap which turns into a counter.
Now that I have my razor saw, let the cutting begin.
