Jun. 06, 1961 - The Minicab Versus Taxicab - Battle Starts Today.. The battle of the fares is expected to start today - when 200 red Dauphine Minicabs go into action to face 9, 000 taxi-men giving them the biggest threat to their monopoly. The cabs are run by Welbeck Motors with Michael Gotla the boss - backed by millionaire tycoon Issac Wolfson. The Minicabs will not only ply for hire like ordinary cabs - but will be booked and detailed by radio telephone.. Their charge is 1/- a mile - any where. Keystone Photo Shows:- One of the Minicab drivers - Jane Simpson - who says she would rather be a Minicab driver - than an actress. She gave up acting - to become a driver
