2021 Land Rover Tomcat 100

Description

Recently built Tomcat 100"; only 213 miles from build; 3.9 Rover V8; look like a race or rally legend in this cool off-road/on-road racing-style Land Rover

First registered in August 2022 following successful IVA by Fleet Service of Preston, this epic looking Land Rover Tomcat was lovingly built by our vendor between 2015 and 2021 with the assistance of Mendip Auto Electric and a host of other specialist suppliers.

The Bowler Tomcat kit was designed by Drew Bowler in the late 90s/early noughties for competition racing and utilised a modified Range Rover Classic chassis, shortened to 100 inches with an integral roll cage, light weight body panels and usually, a Rover V8 engine.  Development of the Tomcat continued, with production being handed over to Tomcat Motorsport and the Tomcat evolving into the Wildcat which has seen significant success in off-road racing – and can also be seen and experienced at Goodwood Festival of Speed taking passengers on high speed off-road experiences, for example.

This fine example is finished in Loire Blue and sits on a set of 18” Boost alloy wheels finished in black and shod with road-biased Kumho tyres and wears its lightweight fibre glass body panels well, managing to look both athletic and aggressive at the same time with its bulges and lumps.  The bulges on the bonnet house the front shocks/mounts with the 3.9 litre Rover V8 engine sat nice and low for ideal weight distribution. 

There are no doors, you simply climb in, the roll cage discreetly surrounding you, whilst you buckle up into blue race seats with 4-point harnesses and fire up the beast.  The rear clam opens upwards on quick release catches, exposing the spare wheel mount, impressive looking rear shock absorbers, battery and cooling fans, fed by a big scoop/duct of the roof.

The history file includes a host of bills detailing the build including purchase of the Salisbury rear axle with 3.54 ratio costing £2,596 alone, the remanufactured V8 engine costing £4,080, chassis work/parts costing £4,920, new transmission £3,570 plus many bills for sundry parts relating to the build. The file also includes many photos of the build including at its bare chassis/roll cage stages plus documentation relating to its IVA and registration process and Thatcham approved immobiliser info. The Tomcat is also correctly registered as a Tomcat 100.

Most recently, the truck has been treated to a new K&N air filter, new battery, new Bosch fuel pump, coolant system test and dyno session which showed it produced 151bhp and 176 lb/ft of torque in January 2024.

Showing just 213 miles since registration, this Tomcat looks ready to be enjoyed, on or off-road and given it cost the vendor some £39,000 to build it looks excellent value at the guide price suggested.
