London taxis
Request ID: FOI-4331-1718

You asked
Can you tell me how many London taxis are Vitos please? I know this is a stretch, but is there any chance you could break colours down for me too please? If that's a lot of work, just the number of cabs will do. I saw a tweet from the police about a hit and run where a taxi driver of a Vito may have been a witness. I'm not convinced the cab is black.
