This Bowler Defender really looks the part and handles beautifully for a Defender.
The seller acquired the vehicle from LR in 2017 when it underwent the Bowler fast road conversion.
For those seeking a Defender that is collectable and can be driven as a family road car, then the Bowler fast road conversion is the way to go.
All conversion work was carried out by Bowler at its HQ in Derbyshire.
Bowler is now under LR ownership.
