Not the first words that came to my mind, I’d have to admit!

Well spotted. ALR 453B.

From The Italian Job Wiki.

After the film, in 1969, it was converted back to a coach by William Marshall of Blackpool. In 1971 it was in use by Edmund Birch of Liverpool, who ran it as 'Wendy's Coaches.' It was then acquired by dealer Andrew Drummond, Harthill, Scotland, who sold it to James Meffan in Kirriemuir, Scotland. It was then purchased by Archie Cromer of Bridge Garage, Anstruther, and converted into a racing car transporter/caravan. It then became a horsebox, in 1983, and a motorcycle/sidecar transporter in 1986. In 1990 it was broken for scrap by Bill Davie of Fife.

Funnily enough, the Craw's Nest Hotel, and Bridge Garage are no more, but the last remnants of the team's race cars is an Alfa, which is in a former garage turned sale room, with a sign on it that says 'definitely not for sale!'. I'm pretty sure the younger guy in the pic, is who owns the sale room and car now.

Apparently that's the original bus from The Italian Job.

So it didn’t fall down the mountain! I’ve always wondered.
