Note that it is sponsored by Land Rover and most of the action takes place on existing MSA authorised rallies.

Also Taz and Npinks would it be good to put this on the Defender Forum? and if so will you please do so?

Taz has done a runner and Nick is in Mexico (according to his current location flag) so I'm not sure who's minding the shop at the moment! So don't be surprised if nothing is done about this for a while.

Landynut,

Thanks for the pics, can but could not make out the event it was entered for in the pic which had the ID number 316 on the side and the names of the driver and navigator on the bonnet.
All this info is missing in your other pics so must have been removed at sometime during your visit but may have been The "Mid Wales Stages" held on March 2nd.
Just looked up the results of the above event and only 5 cars entered Nos. 301 to 305 so not that event then.

Landynut, just had a closer look at the pics and then read your post again and realised that there are 2 cars (Plonker that I am) but would still like to rad the wording on the 90 rally plate.

I suggest you pm me with your email address and I will send you higher resolution images.

The Bowler 90 and the Bowler were brought along to Guava by Ben and Keith Got from Alton. They have their own independent Land Rover dealership and racing arm. Check out www.keithgott.co.uk. : Thumbs Up 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury Corris Grey
