LEVC ( YCN Student award brief)
Is there a second life for the iconic black cab? If it is no longer suitable as a taxi then what could its second life be? It would be a shame to see them all scrapped; and, if this is the only option, then many owners will be waiting many years before they decide to scrap a vehicle which they bought last year for £45k!
We’ve seen iconic red telephone boxes turned into showers, shipping containers sold as swimming pools and many other examples of second lives which give us hope that something as recognisable and iconic as the London Black Cab could have a place in the world for a very different purpose—and we’re keen to see your thinking on this.

SWING
Our idea behind this was to utilise as much of the cab but yet make it look modern swing.
