The Hawker Hunter XF509, which started out with 54 Squadron in 1957, came to Hull in 2005 where it was fixed on a pole outside the former Humbrol factory on Hedon Road, once famous for making Airfix model kits.
The dining car was built in 1967 by Wegmann in Kassel, Germany, for use as a British military train between Braunschweig and Berlin Charlottenburg.
Auctioneer Andew Baitson said the restaurant car would make a great bar or cafe/bistro .
He said It has a fully equipped kitchen - albeit the equipment isn t modern - and is really quite good inside. The Hawker Hunter is an aeroplane of local interest, it has been an exhibit at Fort Paull for a number of years and it needs to go to a new home, as a gate guardian or to a private collector. It would be nice if it could stay local.
