Whilst on the subject of bikes and DCs, given I will be swapping my 110SW for a 110DC soon, does anyone have any snazzy shots of bike mounting methods on their DCs? Curious what I need to by. Seem to remember having seen someone with some fork clamps etc braised on onto a Defender....

Stunning collection. I'm very envious. Congratulations on calling it by the proper name- Adventure. Everyone seems to like calling it an Adventurer. Maybe I'll call mine a Defenderer....

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Sumatra Black

Thanks all. Always had an interest in the series 1 2 and 3, Been a defender nut for about 15 years, had about 12 in that time. These are all to keep.

Yes Adventure the proper name !

I will post some better picks of the DC Bowler when the weather improves, maybe tomorrow, it's had full Bowler conversion , wheels, suspension, interior, engine map etc.

I had the tonneau cover especially made for the Bowler, I just couldn't find anything off the peg and I didn't want water sitting in the loading area. I will dig up the details of who made it

The 90 is great for nipping round the lanes and local stuff , 110 for filling with cycling kit going to races and Bowler for something quite different. Bowler always feels special, masses of torque

How's your new Adventure going Lord Hemming?

The Adventure is great thank you Sweeney, probably the best Defender I've ever driven

Did you buy your Bowler from Tonbridge, I remember seeing it in the showroom when it was new.

Yes from Harwoods Tonbridge . Have purchased a number of vehicles from them over the years, also Harwoods Edenbridge which used to be testers. Also use caffyns in Lewes . Tend to use Tonbridge for servicing as I can drop off and get train to London . Clive who runs the workshop has great knowledge of defenders

Cool you are a luck man, your Bowler looked fab! I bought my Adventure from Harwoods, seem to be a great bunch, especially Liam in the parts dept.
