Classic Replay - King Charles’ Defender Sells Big, Tariff Panic
from The Underpowered Hour · host Underpowered Hour
Steve and Ike discuss King Charles’ Defender selling at auction for about £67,000 (well above the ~£40,000 estimate) and then dig into uncertainty around proposed 25% tariffs on foreign-made vehicles and parts slated for April 2nd, including questions about how they’d affect imports already on the water, used/antique parts, and compounding with existing taxes like the chicken tax; they note market reactions such as GM and Tata Motors share drops. Ike also recounts receiving a packed 20-foot container from Australia containing multiple Land Rovers and parts, including a Series I factory welder project and two Series I 80-inch restorations. They briefly mention a Land Rover credit-fraud scheme ending in a three-year sentence and preview a short episode with more guests and event recaps next week.
