Went to look at a job in our new multi million pound sports complex and saw this in the car park....
It appears to be an German Scorpio ex-taxi. Certainly the right colour!

It was a colour specific to the special Taxi version sold in Germany I think. A google images search shows that most German taxis are that light beige colour; regardless of manufacturer... See below images:
Pre-facelift version

do a google image search for "German Taxi" and you will see that it is a required colour for taxis there. Private hire cars can be any colour like they are over here
