BTTF 2 Flying Taxi Cab 1:43 model

**Vivek** · May 14, 2011

Flying Taxi Cab 1:43 scale model, based on the Citroën DS car.

Michiel Sablerolle who owns the screen used car, helped to manufacture these models by collaborating with the company Norev. Limited to 500 pieces, it was released during late 2009. And was priced at 80 Euros.

This is one my favourite BTTF models which is not a DeLorean, amazing amount of accurate details. Another cool feature of this model is you that can remove the roof and view the interior which is also pretty detailed.

Comparison between the screen used car and the model.

Thanks to Charles (renesisx) for providing the production photo of the car. You can view the full size image and other rare BTTF photos at the following page.

Cool. I worked on the movie taxi at WonderWorks. Brings back memories. Thanks.

**BTTFSpencer** · May 25, 2011

Tell us what you did.

**Wesman** · May 26, 2011

There was a whole crew of model-makers on it, but I worked on the roof, the running boards, and the headlight trim. Not exactly any claim to fame, eh?

**Vivek** · May 27, 2011

Thanks Wesman, the fact that you were part of the production crew for BTTF 2 is itself a worthy praise.

WonderWorks
I knew ILM worked on the models, didn't know about WonderWorks until now.. very cool. Various Props and Vehicles Serving Aerospace, Film, Entertainment & Education for a Third Of A Century!
