Long term storage ford racing puma

Featured Replies

Hi we were lucky enough to inherit one of the ford racing puma original press cars  - v3 frp 

Runs great and needs some work but we really need it off the road for 12 months minimum so we can save to get it repaired and get it off the road (we have no garage).
 

We wanted to enquire if anyone knew of low cost facilities maybe a working garage or storage facility in Somerset or not to far from Somerset they could house the car longer term. 
 

Mainly a paint job needed but also the underside sealing for rust - we want to use the car longer term but need to raise the capital over the next year 

Help appreciated

Hi Dave,

Not clear if by no garage you mean no off road parking also?

Anyway, just a thought - a chap near me has used something like this to restore a couple of BMWs over the last few years:

The cheapest storage tends to be farm barns, so it might be worth asking local farmers if they have any space.  Potentially not the most most secure though.

The cheapest secure car storage near me is £200+ a month now, so 12 months of that would be counter-productive to saving.
