Metrocab
Date of First Registration: 01 Oct 1995
The Metrocab design was based on models and early work for the Beardmore Mark VIII by Metro-Cammell-Weymann in conjunction with the London General Cab Company.
- MCW Prototypes
Two of three developmental protoypes survive today, "Edgar" POE 629R, and UOK 729H which actually worked as a taxi in the in London in the General's fleet.
- MCW Metrocab
Introduced in 1987, this fibreglass-bodied cab was powered by a 2.5 litre- four cylinder Ford Transit direct injection diesel engine coupled to a Ford four-speed automatic or a five- speed manual gearbox. It was the first London cab to fully wheelchair accessible and to be licensed by the Public Carriage Office to carry four passengers.
- Reliant Metrocab
Reliant bought the Metrocab from MCW in 1989, and moved the plant to Tamworth, Staffordshire.
- Hooper Metrocab
When Reliant suffered financial trouble, Hooper bought Metrocab and began a steady programme of improvement. In late 1992 the Metrocab became the first London cab to be fitted with disc brakes as standard. Six- and seven seat versions followed. The restyled Series II was introduced in 1997 and featured a great many detail improvements. In 2000 a turbocharged Toyota engine replaced the Ford in the TTT model.
