Any suggestion for a cheap long term storage? If I don't sell my car i will SORN and leave for next summer.

SpirtsItalia! Sounds more likely a dodgy house or disrepute. £100 a month is cheap for such a service though.......SpirtsItalia charge £100pm plus vat in secure, air conditioned facility. What car is it, we only take cars of a certain calibre
Does it really matter what car if you are paying the same?SpirtsItalia charge £100pm plus vat in secure, air conditioned facility. What car is it, we only take cars of a certain calibre

Just sounds a bit snobbish!
Avoid why? They pay the same, can afford the same as the P1 owner, can't see the problem personally. If they value their Golf/Fiesta and are willing to pay for the same standard of storage, they should be able to.Where I store my car someone has put a MK4 Golf 1.6 automatic and a Mk2 Fiesta Popular in storage. Quite odd next to a McLaren P1 an original Ghibli (and my Strad of course). This, I imagine, is what they are trying to avoid.
I could be wrong but I think the storage referred to is part of the huge new workshop unit and so the cars are effectively “on show”Avoid why?

Parking it on the road would have been a better option.Oh and a word of warning. Had a customer with a brand new Ford Mustang who decided he would rather pay a farmer £80 a month than us £120 (discounted rate for a 12 month commit paid up front). 3 months later when visiting the car it had a rat infestation and as well as the smell and obvious damage they had eaten the firewall material in the bulkhead. This is an engine out job to restore and on him (no insurance from the farmer). Even when fixed the car still stinks. Effectively a write-off. Similar story with a Ferrari owner who chooses to drive his car down a rutted muddy track to save £40 a month and also had mice damage.
...plus has to take them on regular Test Drives to ensure they remain mechanically fitI mig

Do you think the P1 owner looks down his nose at your Stradale in the same way?Similarly, it’s up to them if they want to protect their image for visiting customers.
The owners of Golfs and Fiestas can choose to pay for storage, just not there.

Rodent damage tends to happen in garages.
