This 1908 Renault model VI 20/30 Landaulette - bodied by Starey & Wooley of Nottingham - was used as a Hackney Carriage from 1919 - 1927 and retains its fare book and original leather interior. After 1927 the vehicle was garaged and eventually walled in, only to be discovered by Edward Frater in 1958, who had to pay for the wall to be demolished - and rebuilt - to retrieve it. Today the Renault is in full working order and still takes the occasional fare.
