Frequent visitor Mahmoud from Cairo, Egypt always comes up with nice shots from another time and world. Nowadays when we drive our vintage cars, we take it for granted that a few stops are necessary to motivate the machinery to continue with the assigned job. It is part of the hobby and when you are really in a hurry, you always have the option to use a modern car or a cab.
Back in those days, a modern car wasn't as reliable as it is now. Take for instance this picture of an Egyptian cab in the 30s. The passenger is helping the driver to resolve some underbonnet issues. Hopefully he was still in time for his meeting or for the steamer to Europe. The radiator is showing some resemblance with the Rolls-Royce but is all behind that it as well?
We would like to know what car it is. And if you ever had a good taxicab adventure in the good old days we love to hear about it of course.
