Oxford Diecast Austin Low Loader Taxi Green 1:148

Oxford Diecast

£7.95

The Austin name was first linked to taxi manufacture in the 1920s when dealers Mann and Overton jointly sponsored a new London taxi cab. It was 1934 before the Low Loader appeared and because of its reasonable price and reliability, it became a great hit with cabbies of the day. This was long before the signature black of the London cab scene, so the LL was decorated in various colour schemes, depending on the fleet owner. The latest 1:148 release appears in one of those authentic liveries, which you have seen on the larger scale versions of this model, both 1:43 and 1:76, already in the Oxfor

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OXFORD DIECAST LIMITED, number 02869520. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
