I am really desperate to be able to build my own Caterham but the only problem is, I need somewhere to build it.

Has anyone worked around this issue before or does anyone know of suitable places that I could rent to accommodate my Caterham build? (Location wise I would be looking anywhere from Lincolnshire to Cheshire).

Thanks

Most storage warehouses have units up to double garage size.

You arent allowed to store flamable liquids in them but I can't see any reason why you could rent one to build a shiney new car in. The access hours are usually pretty good (mine is something like 7 am to 9pm) but you can also get 24 hour access if you really need it.

Totally random suggestion, but if you're around Lincolnshire you might want to try having a chat with the guys at Blyton Park. They've got a big old hangar there which I believe a few people use to keep and maintain race cars, plus it's pretty convenient for a pre-road legal shakedown!

They're a friendly bunch although I suspect their answer would depend on things like insurance. Still might be worth a try!

Someone was asking similar questions on here a while back and one of the suggestions was that you put an ad in your local post office for a garage to rent. The argument went that lots of old dears live in houses with garages but don't drive any more and could use the £10/week etc.
