    The 28-tonne bus was thought to have been built in the 1980s for a visit by Mrs Thatcher, before being used to transport troops, auctioneers said.

    It has a blast-proof floor, armour-plated glass and was thought to be chemical, biological and nuclear-proof.

    It is expected to fetch £10,000 in Towcester, Northamptonshire, next week.

    Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert said the bus, which can hold 35 passengers, has just 28,000km (17,398 miles) on the clock and it has its own auxiliary generator and air supply in case anyone attacked it.

    It also has a Foden chassis, a body by Glover and Webb and is powered by a 12-litre Rolls-Royce engine, Mr Humbert of JP Humbert Auctioneers said.
    Only real downside is a 12 litre engine is going to drink juice , on the plus side you won't need to pay motor tax on Z day
