Damp Garage - Dehumidifier advice please

[GrandGinge]

Without the search working I cannot see whether this has been discussed previously, anyway to the plethora of knowledge on PH, I throw to you my issue:

The garage is build into a bank of soil, the walls are granite and to add to the issue it is close to the sea. Cleaning the AMV8 I noticed the chrome wing vents are beginning to tarnish/ rust and probably means more damage is being done. It was polished and put in there 12 months ago and not used since so only a limited amount of airborne salt should have got in.
My thoughts are that it feels slightly damp and I don't want to increase the natural air flow due to the salt, but instead buy a dehumidifier with an external drain and leave this ticking over.

Any thoughts and recommendations on which dehumidifier to go for or alternative solutions?

Thanks in advance,

GG

Thank you for the responses, the wall are already tanked and reasonably dry, I suspect it is just due to the three walls being mostly submerged which is why I was considering the dehumidifier route.
I will look into Honeywell, thanks for the recommendation.

Hopefully this shows the issue...

Is the damp coming through the walls, or up through the floor?

The floor has a DPC and the walls are tanked, it is more just damp and musty probably due to poor air circulation. Conversely I don't want to increase the air circulation because I think it will increase the salt.

I like the idea of the CarCoon and have measured to see whether one will fit - there is only one inch either side at the garage doors!

More importantly, why have a car like that and leave permanently garaged

Because I am not able to be on the island as much as I would like. The AM is worth more to me sentimentally than financially.
