Carbodies

LTI Limited trading as The London Taxi Company was a British taxicab design and manufacturing company based in Coventry, United Kingdom. It had formerly been trading as London Taxis International, and formerly named Carbodies Limited. The company was owned by Manganese Bronze Holdings until they went into liquidation in 2013.

Carbodies owned a coachbuilding business operating from Holyhead Road, Coventry. After half a century making short runs of limited demand bodies for major manufacturers it was obliged to replace these now moribund activities and in 1971 took from its former customer and supplier of taxi chassis, Austin, the manufacture of complete London taxicabs. Two years later Carbodies was bought by Manganese Bronze Holdings. In 1992 Carbodies Limited changed its name to LTI Limited.
