End of row container with side door fitted (at your expense)?
Available from factory but really expensive. Not the cheapest solution, but they refer to containers in their product range, so I guess they've got some way to overcome the step up into the container, maybe a low platform outside to make it level.

There must be some difference in local climate as to whether containers retain condensation. We had two 40' containers for storage situated about 30 miles N E of London and were always having to leave the doors open to let the condensation dry out.
I have also moved many cars in containers internationally. All quality cars, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Rolls-Royce. Once a car like that is in a container you have to be VERY thin to get in and out of it comfortably. Certainly not something you would want to do as a regular everyday task.

I bet the 40fts were aluminium, they can sweat and cause condensation. I have also moved many cars in containers internationally. All quality cars, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Rolls-Royce.

Corten steel ones don't tend to.
Containers up on small blocks at the 4 corners don't tend to cause trouble either as they are not sitting in puddles.

The 40's were steel and on block so about 6" off the ground.
In that case the items in it were damp when they were put in.I am not a fan of 40s, not enough airflow to the contents at the back.
Wood is one of the worst for it, I had a new flat packed garden shed in one recently and the amount of water that condensed on the roof of the container was incredible.
