The taxi chairs are in place in the barndoor bus!
Good that you can take measurements from an unrefurbished 54a taxi!
Have also manufactured a new holder for the treadmill for the winder that controls the foldable footstep |

There are 2 in the northern part of sweden, that is under restoration.
The interior picture that are linked to in page 3 :
is kind a near to hit the road. I know the owner got a rusty fold down middle seat, and much more of the OG taxi parts.
But, in case of this 2 barndoors, they are massive restoprojects, that needs much welding and much parts, so, it´s a long way to the goal of a driavble TAXI bus.
In sweden back in 1954 they were quite common, about 100km from stockholm there were 10 vw taxi. |

A second picture and a caption to go with the photo above:
Frantz Larsen receives his new purchase, the city's first registered taxi of this type, at dealer Arvid Larsen (Vestre Station Road, Odense, Denmark) in 1953.
