London Taxi (Black Cab) TX1 windscreen price, by year
Pricing for TX1 windscreen replacement is straightforward because all variants share the same green-tinted specification. The main cost driver is glass sourcing — specialist suppliers typically stock TX1 glass, though availability can vary. Fitting itself is efficient given the absence of any ADAS equipment, keeping labour costs predictable.

Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your TX1?
Most TX1 windscreen replacements are fitted mobile at your address because the TX1 has no ADAS camera systems to calibrate. You're free to choose a workshop visit if you prefer — both options are available through UK Car Glass. A workshop may be preferred in poor weather or if you'd rather have the job done in a controlled environment, but there's no technical requirement.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Green1
1997–2002Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
Green tint is a light-filtering coating applied to the glass during manufacture. It absorbs and reduces transmission of certain wavelengths of light, primarily to cut glare from sunlight and reflections. The tint is subtle — often barely visible to the naked eye — but measurably improves visual comfort during prolonged driving, particularly in bright conditions. It's a factory specification chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance daylight comfort with interior visibility and aesthetic consistency across all glass in the vehicle.
How to tell
The easiest way to check is to roll your side window halfway down and hold a piece of white paper behind it. Look carefully for a tint cast — green tint will appear as a subtle green hue compared to clear glass. Your windscreen will have the same tint as your side windows. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre — they'll have the original specification on file.
Replacement impact
Green-tinted replacement glass must match the original tint specification to maintain visual consistency across all windows and preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Aftermarket OE-equivalent (OEE) green-tinted glass is widely available, though some vehicles may require original equipment (OEM) dealership glass if the tint specification is proprietary. Tint does not affect calibration, cure time, or installation procedure — it's a cosmetic and functional specification only.
About the London Taxi (Black Cab) TX1
The London Taxi TX1 was produced from 1997 to 2002 and represents a significant chapter in iconic black cab design. It introduced modern safety features while maintaining the distinctive profile that defines London's streets.
All TX1 windscreens feature a subtle green tint — a standard specification across the entire production run. This tint is barely visible in normal light but helps reduce glare and provides modest thermal control, a hallmark of quality glass fitted to London's working taxis.
Because the TX1 predates modern camera systems, there is no ADAS calibration required after replacement, making the fitting process straightforward and mobile-friendly for most owners and operators.
