Remember when cars had their names in individual letters? Each letter had
its mounting pins in different places so they would only fit on the panels
in a particular order.

Nothing to do with the reading/writing grade of the average Monkey Lad......

Years ago a friend of mine had his Lotus Sunbeam sign-written for an
up-coming rally season - he wasn't happy when he discovered the phoned
instructions had been misheard - across both the rear wings were the words
'Lotus Tin Can' where he was expecting to see 'Lotus Twin Cam'.
