    This is completely different from a London taxi in basically every way.

    I've never been the best at reading the tone of text, but it didn't seem like he was coming at you all that strong.

    I'd love more variation for what has quickly become one of my favorite cars, and UKDM/EUDM/AUDM export models wouldn't be out of the question, IMO. But specifically a London Black Cab might be a steeper request. In all honesty, you sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole on this one: the Taxicabs of London have only been exclusively black since the late 1940's. Black cabs prior to WWII were probably a thing, but would have been seen alongside various colo(u)rs. Also, for taxicabs of the '30s, there would have been standards in place that would require the front passenger seat to be replaced by a curb-facing luggage rack. And, yes, the prototypical Black London Cab (the Austin FX4) was a product of the 1950's, though production ran well into the 90's. There may be a case to be made for a Burnside export model, however.

    This is all from a quick skim of Wikipedia, so, y'know, grain of salt and all that...

    Interesting thing people may not realize is how different approach to building cars was back then between US and europe.
    While american stuff was actually quite large and body was entirely set on top of the frame, Europe really focused more on cars being cheaper and more lightweight with lower center of mass. (you can easily see the difference by comparing stuff the likes of ford model B and model Y)
    Powertrain wise the European side also usually had weaker and smaller engines (model Y had around 10hp if I remember right)
    So yeah, especially on the cheaper more basic avg joe car segment, adding an euro spec while probably possible, would be a bit of a stretch if done on relatively low effort and if done properly, you'd have to basically make a new car that just looks similar.

    Edit: yes I know they did sell the model B in europe, however afaik there wasn't really anything different on it compared to american ones, so I'd classify that as more of an import
