Pinched from RVOC..

Powered by a 12-litre Rolls-Royce diesel engine and with a top speed of 80mph, the bus has done fewer than 14,000 miles.

Going for £25,000, the 18-tonne, bombproof vehicle is being sold by current owner, military vehicle dealer Nick Mead.

Being a Thatcher mobile, I thought it would have some historical value.. perhaps a museum piece..

seems a shame it may be sold and turned into a burger van

or maybe that is karma..

Best Comment ..

Like most things Tory. Old, clapped-out, overpriced and useless.

it is a gas guzzling ugly monster of a van should be in a museum.

Great comment,

Apparently it's in good condition, but it failed it's MOT because it pulls to the right and has no reverse gear.

 

[GJH]

If it's longer than 23 foot 9 inches it'll never sell.

It has to be one of the ugliest things ever built for the road

 

[Bailey58]

Bet it doesn't do U turns either.
