It was very well armoured even the windows were. It would need a 303 caliber to break through the window. A normal rifle could not kill any one inside. The floor was also bomb and booby trap proof (in places over 1 inch thick!). Their primary colour was black it was mainly for the Russian market but a few heads of state from some Arab and african countries had them.
