  Some of the 'specials' are being turned into works of art. Created by (and sometimes with) Ian Cook from 听听Ian is an artist who has replaced paintbrushes with toy cars and wheels. His unusual work has taken him all over the world to create striking works of art created in his unique way, landing him a Guinness World Record title in the process.听听

  Ian recently moved to Coventry to live and work and is enjoying finding out more about the city he now calls home on this 2Tone Taxi journey. 听By using toy cars, remote control cars and wheels, Ian has already created some of Coventry鈥檚 iconic places to take their place on our 2Tone Taxi.听 He鈥檚 also worked with groups and individuals to turn some of their suggestions to art.听 All of the works of art will be put together and put on one working iconic London Black taxi.听
