Wolf TUM HS FFR Soft Top Bowman

History

The Land Rover Centre identifies R985 VSM as a July 1998 TUM HS FFR Soft Top Bowman, released to civilian use in 2020. Its listing states that the Bowman radio was not included. The model follows the PVC tilt, snorkel, side spare, lamp guards, bonnet mounts and radio fittings visible in the reference, without inventing deployed aerials absent from that photograph.
