Egriff Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hello, Hope everyone well. Since my father passed away I've been the proud owner of his 1959 TR3A. I'm trying hard to keep it in the family! I live in a flat in London so no hope of local parking but I'm trying to find a safe storage place. Its been looked after by Mark up near Norwich (Classic Marks Sports Cars) until recently but needs to find a new home for at least 12-18 months. Happy to pay but some of these long term storage folks seem more geared to the Ferrari owners! Any ideas? Hope everyone well Edward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Edward This was on my local Streetlife website recently, I don't know them, but if you want to follow it up It's very close to me and I could have a look at the set-up for you. "I have space within my own Classic Car store close to Junction 10 of M20 if any is interested please mail me neville.brooker@googlemail.com Regular maintenance available.....start ups and full valeting service."

Hope everyone well Edward Well, if it's purely storage for that term, you're more than happy to store it here with us in Holland! I can provide you with a heated and permanently overlooked storage. Granted, it's 90mins from the Hook of Holland, so perhaps not 'en route', but it's a possibility! Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I know a lock up in Putney for about £200 per 1/4. It has a locking gate to the car park area and there are about 20 garages servicing the block of flats. There are sometimes vacancies. My own 3A was there for about 10 years. Let me know if you are interested. Richard & H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Egriff Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Richard, Hope all well. I'm unable to message you directly (inbox too full?). Could you email directly? edward@abarisa.com. It would be great to visit the lockup. With best wishes Edward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Ed, contact your local housing associations. Many flats have garages that the tenants do not use. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Menno, if I dumped (errrr I mean stored) my TR3a in your garage for the winter, would it, like in the tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker, come out in the spring all shine and new !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
