Not sure whether this should be in the wanted section or in here. Mods please feel free to move if its in the wrong place.

I travel a lot for work and going to be away for 5 weeks from august and then obviously winter will kick in but i havnt been able to find a garage to rent for a reasonable price.

My question is could any recommend where to start looking for a garage...or does anyone have space for a E30 in their unit around the NW London area that they wouldnt mind renting to me for the winter.

Thanks,
Kunal

haha if it was i would be breaking down the front wall of my parents house and storing it in the living room.

It is only a 318 but i think the bodywork is too tidy to leave outside under a cover over winter. Would be a shame to see it slowly rusting away

That's too expensive

Most of the fully insured professionals charge £25 a week
For that you have your car fully insured by them, dehumidified garage/storage, CCTV, security and they will for a little extra do the weekly maintenance checks

hmm, my spare garage is empty (and secure) , if you fancy storing your car in Central Scotland you can have it for a bit less winkeye
