| The window and door handle look suspiciously like Renault Dauphine.Weren't they used as mini cabs by some outfits? |

| It could be my Grandad's car and I know he liked Saabs at one point. |

| I agree with the Dauphine - there are very few cars of this era with a vertical division like that to the rear window. It cannot be a Saab, as they were only 2-door, and this is plainly a rear door view. |

| The proportions suggest it may be a Dormobile or similar van based vehicle. |

These little French cars can look very big on the inside!

| Dauphine may be a good call but my suggestion is Fiat 600 Multipla. |

A quick web search suggests then that if it is a Fiat 600 Multipla and you happen to have been born in Italy it could well be a taxi!
