Genuine 88in Station Wagon , unusual as supplied with all the military fittings , pusher bumpers , tow hooks , lighting etc.
British Army Station Wagons were usually supplied in civilian spec.
41FK90 was a batch of eight LHD 88in Station Wagons supplied sometime between 1967-1971.
In series it is driven by a British Frontier Service man , it probably says this on front grille plate and will be a genuine BFS vehicle.

FK number was issued in tax year 1969 to 1970.
As this has not got headlights in wings it will be pre April 1969 so I would say this is a 1968 vehicle.

Has vertically stacked front sidelights of a military build, compared to horizontal on civilian builds. Double skin "tropical" roof is unexpected for Europe deployment.
