The Union Jack double-decker bus from the Spiceworld movie is up for sale on eBay.

The BRISTOL VRT (SL3) bus was first registered in 1978 and was originally built for the East Midlands company for services in Nottinghamshire.

It was eventually acquired for use as a film prop in the 1997 Spice Girls film and was driven by Meat Loaf in a scene.

The starting price is £3,500 and the seller recommends a "music, pop or film memorabilia collector, bus enthusiast or Spice Girls fan" buy the bus.

The ad said: "The interior seen in the film was all recorded in a studio set; only the front entrance and the outside of the bus were used and changed for the filming.

"The vehicle was given to a Trust by the film company in 1989. It is a hoped someone will restore the bus and present a small tribute to the famous five inside the lower deck."
