Can anybody assist? I'm looking for a secure storage/lock up/workshop anywhere in a 10 mile radius of GU46 (Yateley)to put our newly acquired but somewhat dilapidated 1970 Citroen H Camper Van. I'd happily considering sharing space with one or two others to reduce costs and share skills. Access needs to be at least 2.3m (7' 7") high and ideally between 300sq ft and 500sq ft.

I've been scouring the local press, Google and property agents but not found anything affordable. If any one wants to explore the idea of sharing space to work on their vehicles then I'd definitely consider that option.

Feel free to let me know on either option!

Here's the 'van!

Could be interested in sharing some space - preferably somewhere big enough to be able to work on the cars, not just storage space. I'll keep an eye on the thread or PM me

I've replied on the other thread that I have a car that could also do with being garaged but it would have to be cheap.

Going to look at a couple of places near Wokingham later this week. If they seem suitable for me I'll post the details here or PM those interested with the information.

Keep me informed Hettie - that looks like a long term project.

Thanks for the interest in sharing storage / space. Having looked at a couple of options I've decided to go down a different route. Even shared space between three was coming out at £30pw which is well outside my comfort zone. So I've compromised and got the van somewhere less practical but foc.

Storing something cavavan sized at the place I work from is about £50 PCM
Its open storage but secure - large dogs and we all look out for each other / 24 hour site attendance

Hi Hettie, cool H van, I restored one with my dad some years ago, sold it for quite a lot to a guy in Japan, we also did a Traction Avant (Slough built UK car) which my dad still has In France. I'll ask around the local Traction boys, they would be keen to help out. Im Wokingham based.

That's interesting. Any assistance would be gratefully received. We're collecting Hettie on Thursday and if you can PM me maybe we can have a chat offline.
