     Looking down to the past, the city of Coventry prides itself with actually building a British icon by manufacturing the well known “black cabs” which have now become a symbol to the English capital.

These cabs are still to be seen frequently on the streets of Coventry, delighting the viewer with their unique style, charm and elegance.
