Summary
RESTORED is a short automotive documentary following Brooklyn Coachworks founder Daniel Marcello, one of America’s most sought-after Land Rover Defender restoration builders. For nearly two decades, Daniel has devoted himself to restoring and purpose-building classic Solihull-era Defenders for real-world off-road use. But while traveling through Italy, Daniel survived a devastating accident that left him temporarily paralyzed. After months of recovery and relearning how to walk, he returned home with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper bond with his machines and himself. RESTORED is a film for automotive enthusiasts interested in vehicle restoration, classic cars, off-road builds, and hands-on mechanical work. This is a story about craftsmanship, resilience and the pursuit of freedom.
