That’s NEW defender money..
A ‘cheshire facelift’ doesn’t cut it, in my opinion. If you must look at an old Defender for that kind of money, i’d go for a low mileage standard factory spec. from Jim Hallam’s stable. But, it’s all down to personal taste. The arches on that Defender are crappy plastic and screwed into the bodywork... the kinda thing that’s acceptable on a td5 Discovery at your local pay n play. However, there are people that will lap that up, like you suggest, if that was £100k you may find it more attractive. There’s a lot of poor ‘chelsea truck’ Defenders going for eye watering money. Fill ya boots. |

Weren’t bowler selling them for over £100k with similar mileage?
I certainly wouldn’t be paying that money for it though, Twisted have an LS 90 for sale for less and we all know how much they like to inflate the price |

Not a fan of the wheel arches. That may have started as a landmark? Would be worth more standard then. Andy

For me, 110's are not the true DNA of Bowler - and it's too expensive looking at the spec. Rgds.

That's a Puma engined 110 with Bowler bits added to it
It's like non M3 BMW's having M3 styling and a badge on the back |

You can get the full Bowler kit (remap, fast road suspension, seats, trim, brakes, wheels etc) fitted by Bowler for £25-30k. Less if you cherry-pick the parts you want and fit them yourself. So the question is is a 2016, 3k miles donor 110SW currently worth £45-50k? I’m no longer in the UK, but I can’t believe it is. If you like the look (bar those revolting arches), buy a donor and build it yourself without paying such a silly premium. Monsieur Le Grenadier
I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Based on what was selling when I was looking, I reckon you’d easily get 45-50k for a 3k mile 110 XS. Late ones with full factory leather are like hens teeth.
Some bowler ones look great - Jim Hallam recently had a lovely green 90 - but that one doesn’t really do it for me. |
