LAND ROVER DEFENDER 2.2TDci BOWLER SOFT TOP

The Nene Overland team is thrilled to present this truly unique, one-of-a-kind Andrew Bowler Race Series Defender 90. Boasting an incredibly low 38,956 miles on the odometer, this vehicle was meticulously built to full Bowler Race Series specifications. Notably, it has never been used in competition, meaning the mechanicals remain in exceptionally crisp, collector-grade condition. Originally starting life as a pickup, it has been transformed into a striking, open-air machine featuring a premium black mohair full soft top with side and rear windows, supported by a robust heavy-duty internal safety frame.

This Bowler Race Series Defender is currently on-site and available for immediate inspection. It offers an aggressive, race-bred stance that is rarely seen on the road. Whether you intend to use it as a high-performance weekend runabout or a base for further personalization, it represents an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Land Rover racing pedigree. You can secure this exceptional vehicle today for £39,995.

Bowler-Tuned Performance & Tactical Hardware

This build bridges the gap between raw competition capability and refined road-going performance. Every enhancement serves a specific purpose, whether for handling or sheer aesthetic presence:

Bowler-Tuned Engine: The powertrain features professional Bowler engine tuning, providing increased torque and throttle response compared to the standard unit.
Race-Derived Handling: The chassis features heavy-duty suspension raised by 1 inch. This setup is paired with a Bowler front stepped bumper, side-runner rock sliders, and a raised air intake for improved wading and airflow.
Aggressive Stance: The vehicle sits on iconic black Sawtooth alloy wheels wrapped in high-traction BFG AT2 tyres. Lighting is upgraded to modern LED headlamps with integrated under-bumper DRLs.
Utility: Despite its racing DNA, the truck remains practical with the inclusion of a rear tow bar for towing needs.

Race-Inspired Premium Cabin

The interior moves away from standard utility and toward a dedicated, driver-focused environment:

Bowler Control Suite: The cockpit features the signature Bowler Race Series gear lever set and a performance sports steering wheel.
Luxury Trimming: The dash is elevated with diamond-quilted leather dash pods and a matching grab handle. A comfort cubby lid and high-support comfort race seats provide a luxurious, secure seating position.
Modern Conveniences: Despite the racing focus, it retains daily usability with remote central locking, electric windows, and a secure lockable cubby box.

The Ultimate Canvas for Personalization

While this vehicle is already exceptional, we can collaborate with you to tailor it further to your lifestyle requirements:

Expanded Seating: We can easily install rear seating for four additional passengers, converting this into a high-capacity 6 or 7-seater soft top.
Adventure Ready: We can install removable roof bars, allowing you to carry surfboards, kayaks, or extra gear for weekend beach escapes.
V8 Power Upgrades: If you crave more performance, we can install a full V8 conversion with power outputs ranging from 355 to 525 BHP. Explore our full range of Rivolve Motorworks V8 upgrades here.
