The Knowledge You Need At BCA

5th September 2008

BCA is offering taxi drivers the chance to hail a quality used London black cab for themselves next week when a hundred cabs are offered for sale in a special event being staged at BCA Birmingham on behalf of Black Horse Taxi Finance.

Starting at noon on Wednesday 10th September, the sale is expected to attract cab operators, dealers and drivers from all over the country to bid on a wide selection of Hackney Carriages, in a range of colours including traditional black, blue, yellow, green and even shocking pink.

With the sale including a large entry of TX II models, but also ranging from a 1998 TX I to a 2007-registered TX4 that has covered just a few thousand miles, there will be plenty of choice for buyers on the day.

BCA spokesman Tim Naylor comments: “These special London Taxi Auction Events always create a lot of interest from the licensed cab trade and taxi dealers. This sale will offer buyers a great opportunity to bid on a good selection of well-prepared and properly presented Black Cabs.

If it's on behalf of Black Horse, they will be finance repos and customer handbacks.

These companies are absolutely desperate, I have had texts from LTI and BCA notifying me of deals - but you cannot return the message to say - DO NOT BOTHER OR PESTER ME - NOT INTERESTED! an answer cannot be returned.

Silly money in some cases, and I mean the upper limits of silly money.

£27K for an 07 TX4 with no warranty or guarantees? :roll:
