Sam Allen is the Brand Director for Defender here in America, where he leads the strategic vision and execution of one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands. We talk about the Defender's heritage, its role in the American market and Sam's personal journey with the brand. Also… the Defender's design evolution, its community impact through initiatives like the Defender Service Awards, and the unique experiences offered by the Defender Experience Centers. Sam shares his insights into the Defender's appeal, its adventurous spirit, and future plans, including participation in the Dakar rally. Sam’s a good dude, with a real passion for Defenders and everything they touch. If you didn’t already want a Defender going into this episode, you will by the end of it. It’s Land Rover’s Sam Allen. And it’s That Car Show.

We’re joined by our friend Nate Lander, from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Long Beach, California. Nate, along with his boss—our pal Mike Kunz—have built a truly special place with the Classic Center and a truly essential resource for us Mercedes-Benz fans in the United States. Some of you listening may know Nate from the Colorado Grand—he’s done something like 22 of them—or, maybe you know Nate from the recent (and excellent) four-part series he did with Tyler Hoover on Hoovie’s Garage, where he—and his dachshund, Otto–stole the show. We’ll be doing more with the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in the future, so stay tuned. In the meantime, it’s Nate Lander, and it’s a good one. It’s That Car Show.
