  TX4 Peacock Green
  The TX4 is a purpose built taxicab hackney carriage manufactured by LTI (London Taxis International). It is the latest in a long line of purpose-built taxis manufactured by LTI (previously Carbodies). The design evolved from the Austin FX4 which was eventually known as a Fairway. The TX4 takes most of its body styling from its predecessor the TX2 (there is no TX3) and it differs from the TX2 with a new front radiator grille, updated front and rear bumpers, a different rear number plate surround and a new interior design. There are internal headrests ( as a result of safety regulations) with two fitted to the central partition for the rear-facing tip-up seats.

The TX4 offers a 2.5 VM Motori diesel engine mated electronically to a GM Chrysler automatic transmission also used in the Jeep Cherokee). A manual version is also available. The engine and transmission are built on a fully-boxed hydroform frame and a separate body, due to the nature of its separate chassis construction. The reason for there being no TX3 and the marquee number going straight to 4 is because the engine is Euro IV complaint and also for the vehicle to have a connection with the famous Austin FX4.
