I’ve had my Series II Land Rover for decades, and when I thought it was time to retire it, the team at Franklin Motor Company proved me wrong. Their restoration work is nothing short of incredible. From the moment I dropped it off, I knew I was leaving my truck in the hands of true professionals. It runs like new, and I couldn’t be happier!
