Undercover Storage

Hi all,

I have outside storage at present but am looking for under cover storage especially as winter is fast approaching. I am looking in the Bradford, Keighley, Skipton and surrounding areas of West/North Yorkshire. If anyone knows of any suitable storage I would be most grateful. Of course, I will pay the going rate.

Thanks
Chris

Re: Undercover Storage

The most important pre-requisite for Routemaster ownership is secure undercover storage and I wish you well in your quest. My own experience of open air storage was sun exposure changing the paintwork from shiny red to matt pink.

At least in the winter there is less sun exposure.

Your best bet is to find a farmer with vacant space in a tall barn. Even then it is often the case that the space is not vacant all year round. I've no idea what the "going rate" is in your area but sadly over a £1000 a year is not uncommon.

I wish you well with your search.

Good luck anyway
