Following the success of its London debut, the ‘Baxi Taxi’ with its unassuming exterior features a very surprising interior – sure to wow any potential passengers. Designed to mimic the warmth of a cosy country lodge, the inside of the black cab is decked out from top to bottom with crushed velvet, faux fur throws and even a fluffy sheepskin rug.

Sales Director David Cook says: “The Baxi Taxi is here to get passengers to their destinations in warmth and luxury, so it is the perfect pick-me-up for hardworking installers to take advantage of and treat themselves to a cosy ride, which is completely free of charge.

“We’ve used our boiler and heating know-how to make a small space feel as warm and inviting as possible – with fantastic results. We welcome installers to get involved and text in to the team and share the opportunity with your customers – it really is the cosiest taxi.”
