Yeah, how many of those are going to end up dead I wonder. Shame.<br>
<br>
Couple of nice ones there and no doubt some will be bargains with that many available. I see the restored pageant one caught your eye too. Thats gotta be just the sort of thing turdyman seeks.<br>

I've seen the restored Pageant one in the flesh; although it needs work putting the trim glass etc back in place it would be a real shame if it stayed sub 2-2.5k. It is superb!

I think we all need to be vigilant as to who the high bidders are and make sure they are bid out of reach!

There is some cheap spare room near Bedford. It would keep my Daimler and Stag company.

Didn't know you were in Southampton otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it. Wouldn't it be a nice idea if a few club members local to each other pitched in for shared storage. I looked into it a few times and found some places where you could squeeze around 10 cars in for £700 pa.<br>

I've mentioned Nicks storage to you before. I'm already chipping in with the storage costs, he pays the same if he has one car or 20 in there. He's not out to make money on it, just share costs. I'm going there some time this weekend probably with Nick to help him sell on a Sprint he saved. You are more than welcome to join us and see what the place is like and chat with Nick about storage costs. It won't be alot I can guarentee you.<br>
<br>
Seriously though guys, the £700 per annum I mentioned before was an advertiser on the Classic touring car website. It was an old ww2 airdrome style farm with associated buildings, pretty secure and had CCTV coverage. Its just a case of spotting something on the net or putting a wanted ad in somewhere. Definitely worth looking at if a few like minded people you can trust get together.<br>

Let me know I could seriously be up for this...<br>

Lockups

I've got a lockup that costs about 9 quid a week - I've been sorely tempted to break the car that's in there as so far it's cost more than a fully restored 1500 would! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
If I could get something for somewhat less than that I'd be very happy <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Not too bothered about frequent access, just somewhere I can put this car and some spares I don't need to get at very often. I'd rather be paying a lot less on storage so I can spend more on the cars..
