I love the detail on the ambulance, even the word "ambulance" is mirrored

iirc it's so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I'm sure there's more to it than that

It's because Leonardo da Vinci created the first ambulance.

And presumably in the rear-view mirror as well :P

Is this literally the picture that the artist used as reference? Everything matches, even the blue and red on the side

Huh, what country is this ambulance design from?

Australia (Victoria)
