Saw this in the Times today. I wonder how many Morgans are stored with them?

I don’t know but might guess ‘none’ as the high cost of this type of storage massively outways any appreciation

But that’s looking at it rationally

There could well be a couple a wealthy Arab owned Aeros kept as novelty trinkets

There is a full page advert in this months Octane for a car storage place near Northampton and in the picture there are no less than 3 250 GTO's, 2 250 LM's and a number of other "posh" cars.
What a waste, I'm sure a few TMer's would love to give them an airing.

what makes you certain they dont get an airing?

but in a way I dont see it as much different to using bank accounts of having a BTL. Its simply a way of storing money that in a day to day sense is excess to your need. There must come a point when you have so much money that it becomes a problem what to do with it.

Really? With every major town and city having rough sleepers in shut-down shop windows? And dozens of people attending food banks?


Having too much money would never be a problem for me!

Lovely idea. Trouble is, a lot of people with a lot of money aren't altruistic. That's how they got (and kept) their money.

Wonder why they don't have their own storage/garage place if they have such nice cars ?

Now that is a very good point. It could be that they all live in Eaton Square!!! ( just up from Sloane Sq) where there is only enough on street parking for your every day Bentley.
