Car stoarge? NE/Northumberland/Yorkshire

[EVLXGE]

Does anyone know of anywhere in the area (although im happy to travel an hour or so) that offers a decent car storage facility i.e. secure unit, possibly a facility to keep the battery on charge, preferably a company that specialise in sports/classic/supercars.

Google doesnt bring up much up here. Mostly down south.

Mainly looking for next winter but may need something for a few weeks now until the weather improves.

Failing that if anyone has a spare space in the garage next to their F40......

Thanks in advance.

Ian

Apologies for the poor spelling in the title. I blame typing too fast.

I haven't used them myself (ended up storing my car in a mates chicken shed!).

But had a couple of chats / visits to http://www.storagehouse.co.uk/contact.html

Thanks ill give them a call. Its a possible if I dont find anything more appropriate.

Any idea how much they were charging?

[GuinnessMK]

It varied, dependant on what it was you wanted. In my initial discussions it was just somewhere undercover to park it long term, so it could be in a corner of one of the big sheds. That progressed to renting a shipping container, where I could store it securely / work on it and fit a load of other stuff from the garage in as well.

[EVLXGE]

The fact you stuck your car in a chicken shed over this outfit doesnt bode well for them...

[GuinnessMK]

Good point.

Chicken shed costs me £2 a week. Given I wanted to store the car very long term, it just made sense.

Last time I was there, mine was sharing the shed with an Audi Quattro Turbo, an XR3i, a Pug 205 Gti, a couple of Landrovers, enough parts to make a couple of Mini's, a Lancia Beta (or might have been a Monte Carlo, hard to tell when they are stripped to a bare shell), dozens of tractors and all sorts of farm machinery.

My pals been looking for undercover storage for his boat and one of my cars. He's found a place in Darlington for £10 per week. I'll give him a shout and get more details if it's of any interest.

[EVLXGE]

Cheers I looked at that one, not a lot of info on their site though. Have you used them?
Where are they based?

Yeah I have a car there at the moment. I don't really want to say where it is, for obvious reasons, needless to say it is very secure!

Probably best to call them, ask for David.
