Land Rover Owner International Show at the East of England Arena, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Saturday 15th September 2018.

 

 

 

About the image.

 

This is a Bowler Land Rover Defender speeding around the track in the showground arena, during a major Land Rover show.

 

I took a handful of shots of this Defender going around the bend, and picked those four shots to create a single frame-by-frame sequence.

 

I decided on a diagonal frame over frame arrangement which would keep it within a regular rectangle frame.

 

To avoid wasting background space and making it look dull, I included another photo, faded into the lower left background.

 

Thought this would be better than the previous separated uploads I did few years ago, figured the earlier uploads means Users have a hard time decided which ones to Fave, whereabouts the single image of multiple frames allows them to Fave all in one.

 

 

 

About the overall subject.

 

 

Bowler Land Rover Defender.

 

Andrew “Drew” Bowler modified a Land Rover Series I into a cross country rally racer. After seeing success, Drew started his company in 1985 with just about 8 people.

 

Bowler company had been designing and building aftermarket parts, and modifying Land Rovers for rally sports, at their family farm in Derbyshire, United Kingdom.

 

Over the years, they developed the Bowler Tomcat, then the successor, the Bowler Wildcat. Around 2007, they sold the manufacturing rights for the Wildcat to a different company, and Bowler started work in their Bowler Nemesis.

 

Sadly in 2016, Drew passed away, but his company lived on to continue his vision.

 

While the company continue, it is now a subsidiary of Jaguar Land Rover, as part of JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations division.

 

 

Land Rover Owner International Show.

 

Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.

 

It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.

 

The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
