Looking for somewhere to store a clio 197 track day car somewhere between Bromley and brands hatch.

Would also need space to store a trailer or alternatively have a solution to get the car to and from brands hatch

Would also be great if there was a maintenance option for upkeep, repairs, mods etc.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try some local farms, or any business with yard space. Many will be grateful for some easy beer tokens.

you say that but I've been trying to find somewhere for a while in the same location.

Everywhere / everyone I approached wanted a lot more then beer token money.

Was offered something decent for good value but to far south in Kent for me!

OP if you find reasonable trailer storage let me know.

Do you need covered, or is driveway space OK. How long are you thinking?

Sorry to hear that. I suppose some of that might be down to living in the South East.

Needs to be covered (at least for the car). Long term.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Same round my way, West Midlands.

Can't find anything affordable unless I could find and guarantee to be able to keep 3-4 other people in a rental agreement for farm storage and split the costs - even then last time I tried it would be c.160 quid a month and you're on the hook for the full rental cost regardless whether your mates pay up, or keep their cars long term.

Can't take a punt on that given how many enthusiast car owners I've seen sell up when wife or especially kids come along and playtime's over.

I’d imagine you’ll be looking around least £100 p/m for covered car storage in Greater London.
