Bowler 90
Spotted a Bowler 90 on the forecourt of Yeovil LR this evening.

Actually I first saw it last week being driven by a certain forum member but didn't realise what it was Embarassed

A visit is on the cards for later this week - better forget to take the cheque book !

I think the next round of the Defender Chslkenge is in Somerset on Easter Weekend?

Were they Challenge 90's or the civvy version?

The Somerset Stages is in fact this weekend (Saturday 12th) and 6 competitors are entered for the Bowler Challenge but sadly no sign of Edd Cobley who was so spectacular on the opening round of this championship on the Mid Wales Stages.

Regards

Nigel

I only saw the one at Whites briefly as I drove past, but it was white, had "Bowler" at an angle down the side panel, and had the cheesegrater type bumper.

Couldn't tell anything more.

Been to have a look.

Basically an XS with the Bowler sliders, front bumper, wheels and tyres. Inside it had the premium seats.

Obviously had the graphics but could not find out if it had been mapped.

About £40K to you sir Shocked

It is their demo vehicle so will be around for a while.
