Brisbane Yellow Cab co for sure.

Then again its not that bad, QLD cabs are usuallly pretty good. $4000 wouldnt be too bad, dont think id pay much more than 4500 for it though.

that isn't yellow cab orange. i think you may have jumped the gun on this, it looks more like a factory Tickford LPG car thats been resprayed in a 'gayish' burnt orange color

I saw an EF on the road the same colour yesterday and wondered if it was an ex-taxi. Can be hard to tell without going into detail.

The spoiler might work OK if the car didn't have stock bumpers... not that I'm into spoilers personally.

You can always pick the ex taxi's that have been resprayed ;) there's a green AU that always parks near the old Ikea in Moorabbin, looks alright though.

Few EF's getting around with paint but sometimes they still leave the bumpers grey? :o

I think it looks pretty good - it just needs front and rear bars and colour coding of the door moulds.

Terrible colour but I didn't think they would have had yellow cabs in nanango. We didn't have them on the gold coast before 6 or so years ago.
