Car Lifts

[david.mt]

Can any of you in the trade or serious home mechanics recommend a good car lift/storage system so I can fit 3 cars in a double garage.

Since buying the Noble I have kicked the Mrs out of the garage and I know when the frost comes she will not be happy and will make my life miserable so best try and avoid that.

The garage has plenty of loft space that can be opened out so height/room is not a particular issue. It is however only 240V mains. Now it would be the Noble that would be kept on the lift over Winter so doesn't need any great lifting capacity. I would want either a single or double lateral post system to keep the freedom of space in the garage (it's a large double and I can turn around in it which would be ruined by a 4 post system). I would also like to have access to the bottom of the car through an inspection area (floor on the Noble needs removing and resealing) and so I can tinker .

Budget say around £5-6k....still cheaper than a decent car port for the Mrs and useful to me. These are a couple of examples I have found.

Any suggestions/recommendations before I start phoning around?

EDIT:

This one looks quite good:
