Vehicle storage facility in Cheshire Oldclassiccar - visit the classic cars homepage (C) R. Jones 2008

Classic Vehicle Storage in Cheshire, UK also serving the Manchester, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, North Wales and surrounding areas of Northern England One of the big problems with collecting old cars, trucks and even historic caravans, is storage. If you've read my page on buying a classic caravan (click here if not), then you'll know what I mean. Classic car storage is not exactly thick on the ground, and undercover storage is even more scarce. With the onset of winter it is more important than ever that old cars are not left outside to suffer, and with many garages nowadays being so tiny (certainly in new-build housing), alternative solutions for parking/storing your classic car have to be found, or else you may end up having to sell your prized old vehicle. If you are in this situation, and are based in the north west of England, I've located a possible solution well worth investigating. Over on the Wirral (Ellesmere Port in Cheshire to be exact), alongside the M53 motorway and not far from the M56, there are some former RAF Hangars, some of which are used for dry undercover storage. Currently used for modern caravan parking, the Hooton Park Trust are now offering their storage solution to owners of all sorts of preserved vehicles, recognising that there is a pressing need for such a facility in the area, complete with security gates and CC TV. A number of historic vehicles are already in store there, and most types of transport can be accomodated, from classic cars through to old commercial vehicles (tractors, buses, trucks, lorries, coaches, vans etc) and even small aircraft can be considered. The staff on site are keen preservationists, so your vehicle will be in good hands. Outside parking is also available at a lower rate. With such excellent access (a stone's throw from the M53 near Liverpool) it provides a very useful service for anyone who like me accumulates rather more vehicles than they really should. Individuals who own vehicles are welcome to get in touch with the Hooton Park Trust, as are preservation groups who may own a number of project vehicles that they need to store. The facility is not however a venue for restoring classics or caravans etc, but a storage facility whilst vehicles are off the road or out of use. Ideally the vehicle should be mobile, or at the very least sat on a trailer. A number of historic vehicles are already on site, along with facilities for storing modern vehicles too should the need arise. Rates are very competitive and terms of storage are flexible to suit the owner of the vintage car, bus or truck in question. January 2004 Update: Please note I'm advised that there are no more storage places currently available at Hooton Park, please check by again soon to see if the situation has changed, thanks.
