Minicab! The true story of Michael Gotla and the Welbeck Motors Renault Dauphine minicabs

The true and never fully told before story centres around what was London's first large scale minicab operator that launched a fleet of brand-new Renault Dauphines onto the Capitals streets in June 1961 amidst much publicity. The London taxi trade basically unhappy about this new unregulated competition set upon it causing disruption and it became one of the biggest UK stories across that year. The film 'Carry on Cabby' was inspired by its events and Dinky Toys even created their own 'Dauphine' minicab, now highly collectible. It pre-dates the Uber concept by decades!
