Overnight storage in London for my R8 Spyder?
Discussion
Hopefully someone can help.
Myself and the wife are doing the Modball Rally in June (180 cars ,10 counties in 7 days) and its for charity etc so we really looking forward to it.
London is about a 11 hour drive from Aberdeen, i can send my car down to London on a transporter not just cheaper than it would cost to fuel but it would save the long drive before we set off on the 10+ days of driving.
I am looking to send my R8 Spyder down a day or so before and then fly down to collect the car, any suggestions where or who could store the car and could they accommodate a transporter dropping it off?
It needs to be secure and I also need to know the car is in safe hands by someone I can trust, by the time June comes it will be a heavily modified V10 and is my pride and joy so I need to be able to sleep while its not with me
Any help would be great.

Hi,
There is an underground car park where i live in clapham, its a residential car park, gated, there is a DB9 Cab, 911 Turbo and i also park my car there so lots of expensive toys. Depending on when it would arrive i could put it in there for you - of course that would mean you trusting me with your car though...!!! (its a nice thought...)
If you want something official then there are a few car storage places in and around London that could probably accept delivery. This one is on the same road as me if you would prefer something more official

I'm doing the same rally so i guess i will see you there, I live in north cheam which isn't far out of London. I'm currently re modelling the drive way which should hopefully accommodate 3 cars plus the garage. I might have room for you on the driveway but can't say for sure until we finish the work. if you can't find anywhere else send me a pm and I might be able to help you.

I am five minutes walk from Canary Wharf and a ten minute cab ride from the centre of the City. You're welcome to leave it with me overnight before you set off, presumably for Dover (an easy run from my place you can be on the A2 in about 10 minutes). I live in a secure apartment block with secure underground parking and CCTV where it cannot be seen. It can sit next to my RS4 Avant.Myself and the wife are doing the Modball Rally in June (180 cars ,10 counties in 7 days) and its for charity etc so we really looking forward to it.

Cost? A passenger run round the block with the windows open please, when you leave!
If you're interested say so on here and I will PM you.
Transprter and drive could stay at one of the hotels a couple of miles away on the A406.

HI
Im hopefully going on the rally as well...
if your stuck for parking, i could suggest the underground car park that i use in Chelsea which is safe and full of ferraris etc. I think they would charge about £25 per day but its very central and you can be in piccadilly in 15 mins from here.

Can assist with the temp storage and also collecting you guys from the airport too. Gassing Station | London | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
