exactly, hence why i chose the 6 cylinder Petro MHEV, a reasonably new motor which should be around for quite a few years..

A vid done by the guys from PowerfulUK at a dealer launch event. If you are familiar with them you'll know he does tend get a couple of things wrong when talking about stuff in his vids. The most pleasing thing was to see that the seats fold down in exactly the same way as the D3/D4...dead flat. If you want D4 space, the 130 Will be fantastic. Personally, I think he needs to do a bit more research on it before he decides which model to get....and maybe wait for some proper reviews.

Wonder what this will mean for new Defender

Land Rover has their Special Vehicle Operations are which has SVR (Racing/Rocket/Ridiculously fast). SVA (Autobiography) and SVX (eXtreme/offroad) At least this was the plan but the SVX was only touted for the Discovery and got canned before production.
.. Maybe the Bowler will be a hybrid of the SVR and SVX?
One of the new model 90's with a V8 would be sweet az.
In an ideal world, Bowler would be their competition department. Who wouldn’t love to see them competing in the Dakar with a team of 90s?
Cheers,

You may not like the end result, but you have to admire Andy’s passion for the product and the engineering that has gone into it. His explanation of the shape makes a lot more sense than McGovern’s “verticality”.
They really should let this bloke out more often.
Cheers,
