The special bodied taxi version was a spinoff of the T140, used specially as taxicabs in Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Panama and Singapore. It was first introduced with the 1.8-litre 1C diesel engine in January 1982 (CT140). In September an 1.8-litre LPG version (YT140) was added to the lineup. In addition to getting a new rear end and a taller, more upright roof line for a more comfortable rear seat, alterations were also made to the headlights and grille. In December 1986 the car underwent a light facelift, and the diesel option was upgraded to the 2-litre 2C version (CT141).
The car was unavailable in the mainstream market. After November 1991, the diesel option was no longer available. Production only came to an end in April 1998. The car was popular initially, but lost popularity when the Comfort was introduced. Most countries have since replaced the CT141/YT140 with newer vehicles - Macau and Pakistan are among the few countries still using it on a regular basis.
