One of London's most unique charity events takes place each year when a convoy of licensed London taxis take over 200 children, suffering from a range of chronic debilitating illnesses and life limiting conditions, on a three-day trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Resort Paris. This Magical Taxi Tour has bought moments of great joy and happiness to sick children. This amazing convoy, can be over three miles long when running and consists of 90 plus taxis, City of London Police escorts, Gendarmerie Nationale, London Ambulance NHS Trust vehicles and AA breakdown trucks. Organised by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, this year the event takes place on the 23rd-25th September and is only possible with the help of sponsors who generously towards the expenses of hotel, fuel, food, admission charges etc. The taxi drivers naturally give freely of their time and use of their vehicles.

The latest version the TX4, very popular with taxi drivers. The shape has become an integral part of British heritage, and this version is even better. It has a built-in fold out wheelchair ramp, 25-foot turning circle, conventional side-loading doors and bolt on panels attached to an ultra-strong chassis. The engine is built specifically to meet the latest Euro IV emissions legislation, the VM Motori R 425 DOHC is the cleanest diesel engine ever to beat at the very heart of a LTI taxi.
