  4. Googled, do you know ant of these you could ask?

    Famous people who own black cabs, made in Coventry, include the Duke of Edinburgh, Kate Moss and Stephen Fry.
     
  5. I saw stephen fry had a fag in his mouth and was worried about what to say next but yes, it seems in heavy towns they have drawn a certain clique to them. Thankfully living close to London and the 15 year taxi rule, we seem to have a glut of around £3k with 250,000 miles on with the average being around 450,000 miles
     
  6. Governor-meets-Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of hundreds of US-based customers to buy a black cab, paying thousands to have one shipped to California back in 2003.
     
  7. The iconic filmmaker Stanley Kubrick took to driving around in a black cab in his latter years, proudly displaying his taxi at his Hertfordshire home for all to see.
     
  8. Sid James starred in Carry On Cabby, so it was no surprise he was a self-proclaimed taxi enthusiast. See, kids, it was cool before Kate Moss.
     
  9. Happy Mondays' Bez used the money from his Big Brother appearance to buy a black cab to "pimp" up.
     
  10. Sir Laurence Olivier also took to driving in a black London taxi, too.
     
  11. Yvette Fielding - presenter of Most Haunted - also has her own black cab for personal use.
     
  12. Do they own ducati's too?
     
  13. Alanis Morissette does though...
