HHH Heritage #1 restoration shop in US?

[El Pinchi]

Just saw these guys on FB...Has anyone heard of them or know anything about them? They claim to be the "HHH Heritage named #1 Land Rover restoration provider in America by Autoweek." Just curious because I've never heard of them.

I love that ECR didn’t make that list. I think the list should have been “Restoration shop that invests the most in social media and marketing”

I've never seen their work in person, so I'll avoid voicing an opinion there. I will say that they must be pretty busy based on the volume they do with us.

I know that they pay very close attention to detail and do many series restorations.
This is based on conversations with the owner and several customers when attempting to supply rare or unusual parts.

They put BFG All Terrains on a Camel Trophy truck. That tells me everything I need to know.

Especially painful when XZLs are still available new

Think they clearcoated it too

No first hand experience, but I a guy I follow on IG (connie.the.defender) that bought a 90 from them. He seems happy with the build.

Personal preference is to see work in progress pictures rather than just post build. Good to read they support RN.

Someone had an Arles ST on BAT a few months back that HHH “restored”. I don’t recall what level of build pics were included in the listing, if any.

As I recall the resto receipts totaled $130k ish. It was a surprising number. End product didn’t look impressive for the resto price.

Here’s the listing.

1994 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS

Bid for the chance to own a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #37,197.

I’m not a purist by any stretch, but there is a lot that bothers me visibly with that restoration. Painted alloys, painted flares, grill(is it KBX?), and painted bumper without the NAS lights.

Absolutely agree...some of the finishing touches might have been at the owner’s request though. Not HHH

Nothing screams "lazy" like seeing the bolts for the door hinges covered in paint. Seriously, I don't care WTF you do to the rest of the restoration, but if you paint with hinges and doors in place, you aren't the top restorer anywhere.
