At the beginning, the first imported model was Nissan Cedric 130 series, and later it came to 197 1 230 series, which is also commonly known as "big basket pomelo" in the industry. During this period, Mercedes-Benz began to withdraw from the local taxi market, while Morris stopped importing gasoline engines and small bodies in the 1960s. 1975 Cedric launched 330 series, commonly known as great white shark in the industry. On September 23rd, 1976, the Hong Kong Government began to paint the bodies of officially licensed New Territories taxis green and restricted their business areas. 430 was introduced by 1979, commonly known as matchbox in the industry. Since this generation, the inner cage has changed from black to dark blue. From 130 series to 430 series, Nissan taxis are equipped with 2 164cc four-cylinder diesel engines with a maximum horsepower of 64 horses. 1983, Nissan introduced Y30 series to replace the 430 commonly known as Fan Jian box in the industry, and began to switch to a new engine with a large displacement of 2289cc.

Unfortunately, Nissan taxis stopped exporting to Hong Kong at the end of 2005, and Nissan taxis have come to an end in Hong Kong. As for the Toyota taxi, it was introduced by 1979. The earliest is LS90 series, which is characterized by four-round lamp design, 2 188cc four-cylinder diesel engine with 66 horsepower. 1980 launched LS 1 10 series, which was divided into early stage and late stage.

There are several versions of disabled drivers in this generation, but the steering column is located in the center console, so there are only four passenger seats. LS 120 has two generations. The headlight design was slightly different, and the inner cage began to switch to dark blue design. 1988 launched the series LS 130, which was divided into three phases. The first issue was called Diamond Crown, and about a year later, essential balm was added.

The model is LS 13 1. 1993 launched LS 140 series, and the agent was called Jubilee Crown. 1994 made a small change, the model is LS 14 1 series, and the agent is Hsi Chin Crown. In fact, the design of the body shell of Jubilee, Hsi Chin, Diamond, Emerald and Pearl Crown is different, but the chassis is completely different, so the factory number of the two generations is also LS 130 series. The model year of Royal Salon is 1987- 199 1 (i.e. diamond, emerald and pearl crown car shell). The 3m-GE engine is used for the 3.0 gasoline engine, and the factory number is MS 133, while199/kloc.

S 140 series and JZS 133 were also produced during the period of1991-kloc-0/995, but they were only produced in the hardtop body (respectively) compared with jzs133 imported from Hong Kong. The biggest difference between Majesta 1800mS 140 and S 130 is that S 130 still adopts an independent chassis separated from the Crown car body, while S 140 adopts a single-shell chassis structure.

In 2005, the mandatory lights in the rear window were replaced by LED lights, and a pair of command lights were added to the front sand tables on both sides. Around 2004, the agent no longer introduced the hand wave model, so it has been equipped with an automatic wave box. In 2006, the agent added a model called "Love Taxi", which is characterized by the left B-pillar moving forward 10cm, so the left front door will be smaller than the standard version, and the back door will be longer. The B-pillar is equipped with handrails, and the left rear seat can also rotate to the left, which is convenient for people with mobility difficulties, such as the elderly, the injured or the disabled, to get on and off. Moreover, this taxi also uses electric doors instead of manual remote control design. The price of the car is about HK$ 654.38+0 million more than the standard version. In 2008, Toyota Crown Comfort made a small change. The rear of the taxi was replaced by a new high-brightness L-shaped large-area taillight group, and the license plate frame was fully electroplated. The taxi sign on the roof has been changed into a brand-new circular arch design, which is illuminated with white light and replaced with side mirrors of the same color as the car body.
