In this episode of the Underpowered Hour, hosts Stephen Beres and Ike Goss discuss the latest news from the Land Rover world, including the breaking news of Adrian Mardell's retirement from Jaguar Land Rover after more than three decades.

The duo also delve into historical Land Rover projects, specifically a small 79-inch Land Rover model from the late 1950s and early 60s that never made it to production. Ike narrates how this concept parallels the development of the Suzuki Jimny, outlining their similarities and the eventual success of Suzuki’s iteration. Other significant events, such as Land Rover's participation in Pebble Beach and the sad closure of Rover Farm, are also discussed. Tune in for an enlightening discussion filled with nostalgia, historical insights, and exciting future events.
