Chassis number 48 was the 3rd vehicle to leave the factory production line in 1970.
Finished in Sahara Dust, it was purchased by the UK government towards the end of August 1970 and sent to Wadham Stringer near Portsmouth for conversion to a rapid response medical vehicle, and used by the Ministry of Defence for many years on RAF bases around the country.
