All British Field Meet Recap

All British Field Meet Recap7 sep27 min

<p>Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss JLR launching a £154,000 Range Rover and then cutting 4,500 jobs, which JLR attributes to tariffs and falling sales, and note UK officials plan to meet with new CEO PJ Balaji. They cover signs JLR may revive a military-style “Defender Wolf Series 2,” potentially to compete against vehicles like a Toyota Hilux-based platform and the Ineos Grenadier. Ike recaps the All British Field Meet in Portland, where Land Rover was absent as an exhibitor but Ineos Grenadier was a featured sponsor, and highlights the strong turnout of Range Rover Classics and Series trucks, including Steve driving his 1957 109 pickup. They review a Bring a Trailer LS3-swapped, six-speed 1976 Series III build that failed to sell near $100,000, and close with updates on a re-emerged Forest Rover and progress on another Forest Rover restoration.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Show Intro and Hosts</p><p>01:18 JLR Job Cuts and Tariffs</p><p>03:36 Defender Wolf Rumors</p><p>07:02 Wolf vs Modern Rivals</p><p>07:45 All British Field Meet Recap</p><p>11:24 Ike’s Yellow 109 Road Trip</p><p>12:13 Ant Colony in the Rover</p><p>13:29 Goat Man Land Rovers</p><p>14:26 LS3 Series III Build</p><p>17:38 Ugly Details Breakdown</p><p>21:14 Forest Rover Update</p><p>23:02 Forest Rover Engineering</p><p>25:41 Wrap Up Credits</p>
