Blue Ice

(1992, Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Sean Young)

London-set spy thriller that fails to match Caine's earlier spy movies.
Early in the film, as Caine drives through Central London, he passes a London Sightseeing DMS class Daimler Fleetline and a London Transport MCW Metrobus:

This, however is not a London bus - it's LDX73G, a 1969 Leyland Atlantean with highbridge Eastern Coachworks body, that was new as Ipswich 73 and spent time as Eastbourne 63 before being sold on to a film company:

Seen through the back windscreen of the car Sean Young is travelling in is this impressive Volvo coach. Identification would be welcomed:

A later scene involves London Transport RM613 (WLT613):
