[Storage sought for TR3A]

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.

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

Thanks to all of you for your useful suggestions.

 

Menno - I was hoping for somewhere a little more local! But your kind offer is greatly appreciated.

Steve - thanks for the info - I'll mail the chap directly.

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

I'd like to thank you all for your thoughtful responses - great to hear this body of advice and support! Much appreciated.

 

Foolishly I expected to be emailed when there was a response so only just saw these promptly posted replies just now (maybe there is an option for this).

Thanks again.

 

I've had the opportunity to take the car out for a drive a couple fo times in this late indian summer - its terrific fun. I've been in a car and been on the receiving end of so many smiles and waves!!!

 

Sadly the car will remain something of an occasional pleasure until I leave central london. I hear David on his use or lose it theme but theres something about keeping it tucked away until I have more time/space for it. I'm trying to figure that out. I agree it needs to be used tho; seems a shame otherwise..

 

Thanks to Mike, Ian and Andrew for storage options - I'm following those up now. Happily some of them include regular drives out for the car...

 

Thx to Alec for his thoughts too - I may see some of you at Malvern next year - I've family in the neighbourhood too.

 

Altogether a great introduction to he community which means alot - so very appreciated.

 

Hope this finds you all well

My father recently passed away and has left me his TR3A. He had had some work done on it to restore it (in mostly original fashion although I understand there is one fibreglass panel). It looks wonderful.

It's a lovely family heirloom to keep in the family but currently costs me a fortune since I've garaged it London asi live in a flat in the centre of town.

It's probably not very suitble for me at this time of life but I'd loves to keep it as long as the economics aren't too scary.

Can someone give me an idea if it will appreciate in value?

I'm looking for something to counterbalance the quite material costs of garage rental here in london (even in the more remote suburbs where it stored now)...

I also wonder whether anyone has any experience of longer term storage companies. I won't be in London forever and it might be good to put it somewhere safe until my life has a better place for it...

It's a beautiful car that puts a smile on your face when you see it and was my fathers pride and joy..

Hope this finds you all well

Best
