Bus is located in South Oxfordshire, viewings welcomed. Open to offers.
This bus was owed by BBC’s Top Gear, for a filming stunt in the Clarkson DVD Special ‘Thriller’ released in 2008. The bus was subject to a controlled explosion in a stunt where Clarkson imitated firing a rocket at it. It since has undergone a full restoration to it’s former glory, and you won’t find a better example of an Routemaster out there.
