London Taxi's black cabs made in China

SHANGHAI, CHINA - March 23: A 'Black cab', famous in London, is parked in Shanghai's old town neighborhood on March 23, 2009 in Shanghai, China. London Taxi International, the producer of London Taxi's famed black cabs, turned to China to drive overseas expansion. More than 8,000 London Taxis will be produced from the Chinese factory, more than double the annual output of the firm's historical factory plant in Conventry, England. Most of these cars will go to places like Singapore, Dubai, Moscow, that covet the image associated with the London Taxis' tradition of good service and durability. London Taxi International will continue to build 90 percent of the Taxi cabs used in Britain at Coventry. (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)
