The contravision makes my teeth itch. If I'm on a bus I don't consider being able to see out of the window an optional extra.
At least they don't have it on the front windows, unlike Stagecoach for many years.

Historical, as it has since (thankfully) been repainted into ordinary Stagecoach beachball livery but:
However, Stagecoach have had a newer bus with something similar on it, but I'm not sure if it still is in it's 'daffodils' livery this year:

Can confirm the E400 is still in that livery as I just watched it pull out of Grantham!

I remember this bus in York when I was a student. It gave quite an impression. Apparently it was the first bus to use the contravision.

Not many in these parts. The only one I can think of is Stagecoach 37106 promoting Carlisle Youth Zone. The photo is quite old but it is still in this livery.

Long story about AOAs, but back in the 1980s, there used to be a big event in Dublin, at the Royal Dublin Society showground at Ballsbridge, called "The Spring Show". Thousands of folk from the provinces came to Dublin for it. CIE, and later Dublin bus route 7 worked past the RDS, and Donnybrook depot, which operated route 7, used to put all the AOA buses at the depot onto the 7 for the duration of the show.
The spring show no longer features on the calendar of events.

There are two Cumfybus Optare Solos (MX55 WDF and YD63 VBU) and a taxi with the same all-over advert as 4670.
There's an Enviro400 at GL which has a full rear advert for Dinosaurs Unleashed, but I can't remember which one it is.
CX55 EAY is no longer in that livery unfortunately, it's been repainted into the new standard livery.
