Everything looks BRILLIANT.
The sort of stuff that Bowler is doing for you, is totally unavailable in Aus, so count yourself very lucky!
I shall be looking forward very much to your driving impressions of 195HP & more particularly 515NM?

Thanks All, looking forward to driving it.

It will certainly be a change from the 15 yr old TD5 90 that I'm currently driving. Very Happy





Didn't get too much of a chance to drive the new 110 in her delivery spec, it was literally on the ferry to Bolwer within a couple of days of my taking delivery.

The 3 1/2 hours it took me to drive from Holyhead to Belper was nice enough, however I was cursing my cheapness at not having specified a radio! Playing I spy with myself didn't really cut it! Laughing

Final Pics of the build, Jon and the team at Bowler have done at fantastic job, given some of the more unusual things I requested.

Hope to pick her up sometime this week.

Not normally a fan of bling, more into to the old school look myself

But I have to admit thats very tasty.......nice work and not too ott.

Best of luck with her, a keeper for sure and don't forget about protecting the underside bulkhead etc, against the dreaded rust worm Thumbs Up

Roz, What a "transformation", although being keswick, it was always gonna be good wasn't it?!
Anyway, GREAT JOB.
I'm now waiting on driving impressions of 195HP & 515NM?

Thanks for all the kind word guys.

Yes very happy with the outcome, was a bit wary of 'overbling' but I think its turned out well.

I only got back from USA today, but managed to convince the breadknife to let me fly over to UK tomorrow to pick it up! Very Happy, so happy days!

Only flight was much later in the day, so I get to spend a bit of time over the Dales on the way the back as pressure is off to get a sensible ferry time.

Looking forward to it! Will post some pick up pics and first impressions of the new power!
