I doubt it, we shall see if the op gets turned around
What you doing “going to pick up my black taxi”

Not really, no. If you are daft enough to think the fact that we are all told to stay at home and only make essential journeys is about "coughing on everybody" then you're as daft as the OP thinking that a whim of an eBay purchase and his mates wife getting the hump is justification for a 1200 mile round trip mid pandemic.
I've got no idea how France is getting on but the NHS is stretched here in the UK in some areas. They don't need the liability of anyone on the roads, let alone someone in an end of life Taxi of unknown road worthiness. I like to go around the county on days out but I wouldn't even consider doing that at the moment.
Isn't it? You're allowed to travel for business and this is going to be used for his business.It's not allowed. OP is ignoring gov rules.
Sounds to me like he's taken precautions, the taxi doesn't seem that bad, and at the end of the day it's not like it'll need to be recovered immediately if it breaks down. It's managed 300k miles so far, so it should have another 1.2k left in it
Personally I'm interested to see how it goes, it'll be far more interesting than yet another covid thread.
That's why I can't drive 10 miles from my house to go for a walk round a park. That's why the OPs trip is a selfish move. Yes the risks are small BUT our health service is up against it. If we all limit our travel and activities there will be less accidents and it gives the NHS a fighting chance. In the context of only allowing essential travel the OP is taking the proverbial.I've got no idea how France is getting on but the NHS is stretched here in the UK in some areas.

My mate does close to that every week visiting his sites up and down the country, I'm pretty sure there's no distance limit.2000 miles?
Did you make it??
they laughed at me taking an English taxi to France and off I went.
Did you pay in kind?I'm seeing more Black taxis pop up in the UK. I seen one near me in County Durham other day.

I think more and more are coming up as they switch to the new ones, so a lot of decommissioned ones will be knocking about.It was converted. Had a bed in the back.
