The record

Bowler lengthened the Tomcat from 88 to 100 inches in 1995. The Tomcat 100 used a box-section chassis; its body style carried over to the tubular-chassis Wildcat 100 that replaced it.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
