Found the SNP battle bus reg no today. LSK 444 and then some of its history.
LSK 444 is a Volvo B11RT/Jonckheere SHV new to Park's of Hamilton as SJ16 CPK in March 2016. It was soon re-registered to LSK 444 and acts as the Glasgow Celtic Football Club team coach amongst other VIP work

That's definitely not the battlebus

Oh, Sorry I haven't got that far yet. Sorry, the web can be misunderstood at times. I guess the plates may then have been transferred to different vehicle?

News update.
Definitely the new vehicle this time. The ITV News people filmed an onboard video yesterday. If you forget the politics and  fast forward to 04:13 the under side of the front bumper gets a grounding. Ouch!
