This threw me - I watched LC in New York City 16 October, and as a Londoner, noticed two 'black' London cabs in the movie (OK, the first one was coloured blue, and its number plate seemed to be BBC!) I thought it might be some kind of joke, or that non-British audiences 'wouldn't have noticed the differences anyway?' Why are there 2 London Black cabs of 1980's/1990's vintage in this movie?Well it was certainly an error, but only(!) by 20 years - the taxis were Austin FX4s, which were in production only from 1958.
