Ooops, dunno why but I always thought you were chauffeured around in a drop top pink Roller with the plate F481 (FAB 1).

My mistake.

Its a model code and to those in the know identifies what it looks like and production years.

Early ones YJ, TJ etc etc I usually pretend to not understand else they will invariably keep talking to me until I fall asleep or die.

Speed is your friend in this situation.

JEEP GEEK WARNING

You Wrangler is a JK model (I.e. the new shape). The one before the JK was the TJ and before that the YJ (rectangular headlights) etc etc all the way back to the Willys Jeep.
