Saw this earlier.

Road going Bowler

Not sure about the diesel version though.

Better get saving.

Some miserable comments that completely miss the point below that story  :roll:

I'll know not to bother towing them out next time it snows!  :twisted:

I read the article in either, LRO, or LRM.

It's a bit of a beast, eh?
I don't see a problem with this being a road car.
It would be fun winding up the young petrolheads   :evil:

If they fit adjustable shocks and anti roll bar disconnects then there's no reason why it can't be a scarily fast road car and at least as capable as a 90 off tarmac.

I like the wildcats, but I am not sure they are quite worth all the hype. Fantastic no doubt at fast off road stuff, but unless you do a lot of that then its just a fancey V8 90 really

I'm intrigued that they don't seem to have noticed the Bowler Nemesis road car (forget the official name), that looked promising.

According to the man himself The TDV6 Wildcat will out run the V8 version.  Now that in road going spec would get the boy racers worried.

I know someone that has a Bowler wildcat  parked up in his workshop, and I like it so much I could just pull out a deck chair and sit and look at it all day.
I dont  really care what the road going version perform's like, It think it would be the 1st car I will buy polish for.

Mine too! And a decent AC Cobra replica. And a speedboat. And a villa in Cyprus.

Oh, how I wish.
