Ken
Very nice indeed 
Can I ask who is the supplier of the outside roll bar? & does it extend into the interior? Further pics needed me thinks... Thx TT "Ease your worries, Clear-up your woes, Go into your garage & put stuff into rows." |

TT, the external roll cage comes within the '90 road' package by Bowler, it includes the internal one too apparently - http://www.bowlermotorsport.com/portfolio/defender-90-road/
Bowler seems to be quite easy to work with so altough it's not on the accessories page, I don't think they would have a problem in supplying it individually - http://www.bowlermotorsport.com/parts-and-accessories/ |

Actually the bar is the same as the 50th however it is cosmetic there is no internal cage on the road version
For me this not an issue as it allows me to have the correct seats and mud rails  |

had to smile at the two posts re; HUGE torque and baby
I don't know what mods have been done to the engines other than the mapping but it would appear the 2.2 is producing more torque / litre than the 3.2. suspecting the 3.2 has had hardware tweeks also that would be extra credit to the 2.2 in my books. bottom line of course is 707 Nm does trump 510 Nm. either way very good
do we have any history for either of these spec engines in terms of longevity? |

and the bowler is c10 Nm / ltr more at 231 vs 221.
going off topic the caterham R500 has 131 BHP / ton which for a naturally aspirated production car is about as good as it gets  |
