No it is not a Trax model , Trax never did a FE Taxi. Its from a set called Taxis of the World. BUT Its DEFINATELY NOT a Trax model.. Cheers SLIM

Mark,
Definitely not Trax. They are Delprado, made in China and are tin, rather than die cast. Still looks Ok. Delprado did a taxis of the world series I think. This is a copy of an FC taxi that Trax did, but done here as an FE.
They come up reasonably frequently on ebay - you will find one in buy it now as well as one for auction at the moment I think.
Cheers,
David

Also, no 1956 Sydney taxi would have had the rego plate that this carries - SNM 998, white on black.

It must have a rare cross flow head too - the exhaust is on the other side
Not much of a copy is it? lacks the charm of early Micro models. Its a shame the vendor doesn't fess up that it isn't Trax until the middle of the blurb.

It's not a faithful copy, but it's very interesting. When you look at it real close, instead of the usual "Special" badge you would expect to find on the quarters, it has the "Holden" script with wattle highlights from the front of the original FE brochure.
So although it's a Sydney De Luxe taxi like the Trax model, I don't think it was a blatant rip-off.
cheers
