Please give it a cool name like 'Wildcat'. I don't like names that are just seemingly random letters.
An American company called Grumman produced a ww2 fighter aircraft called 'Wildcat'. It's successor was called 'Hellcat', that would be a great name for this Bowler!
Bowler Tomcat, Bowler Wildcat, Bowler Hellcat... Yeah, it would indeed be a good name smile

Astounding engineering on a brutal looking thing (although I think the older model looked meaner!).

Both of those names was used by Al Melling when he launched his cars :-)

Is it wrong to say I *need* one of these, and a JEE defender, and a G63, and maybe a unimog?

Awesome car but such a dull nerdy name! This is not a computer accessory! If this can't have an exciting name then what the hell can?! Sort it out you Marketing Monkeys!

Awesome vehicle and i can think of many reasons to own one not to mention the sheer exclusivity of having one in the garage!!

As for the name how about..... Bowler Mywalletjustbleadtodeath

Reminds me of this!

Yep, the car I was on the waiting list for that LR never actually made.

FWIW, re the name, why deviate from Nemesis which sounds utterly and completely sub-zero cool?

You have no idea how much I want one of these or how much my neighbours (though they don't know it) do not want me to have one. hehe

That said, I can't help but thinking that the older ones that looked like Defenders, instead of the effete nancy-footballer-boy RR Sport, were about a thousand times cooler.
