Default Car storage... Need to tuck the 3dr away

Is there anyone on here that does storage ( must be dry and clean..!)... As I need to tuck the 3dr away for a couple of months while my garage is knocked down and replaced....won't be for very long as its getting built very quick and plus the cars going up to Paul @ NYRS just before Xmas.


Or know anyone or anywhere that's got a good reputation for car storage..?


Cheers Mat.

Have you got a decent Ford dealer showroom near to you??? Might be worth asking them if they'd be interested in displaying it in their showroom.... At least it'd be dry and warm.

make sure you notify your insurance as they don't need much of an excuss not to pay out if the worst happened.

What about the dealer that done the underside of you're car? you could tell them they could showcase it in their showroom to show what they can do

My local BMW dealer has a M car section up stairs and they've always got old skool M series cars up there on display....

I've seen a few main dealers with old cars in showrooms... Might be a cunning ploy to get people through the door
