No spelling mistakes today! Austin Martin

Nope, not a spelling mistake in the title, although many people often address the Aston Martin as an Austin Martin. Yet, during the celebration of 100 years of Aston Martin at the Interclassics & Topmobiel, we spotted this oddity: a Carbodies FX4R taxicab rebuilt by Aston Martin Tickford. The taxi was lengthened by sixteen inches and completely refurbished. As the FX4R was based on the Austin taxicab, can we truly call this an Austin Martin. Only too bad we couldn't find an original Tickford emblem on the car, perhaps something like the one that was fitted on the 1955 DB2.
