Plus points for the novel way of portraying this name, but many negative points for the depiction. Whilst JTB 749 is a real coach, a 1948 AEC Regal III with Burlingham body, it is unsurprisingly right-hand drive, not left, and would drive on the left-hand side of the road in this country. Clearly the artist worked from a reversed photograph, correcting the lettering (but not the 'Regal' on the radiator). It has been pointed out to me, something I did not notice at the time, that this is a cut-out sign, showing a correct view of the coach on the other side. A mirror image on this side is a consequence of using the same silhouette.
