Long Term Car Storage
Equerry 55 provides secure indoor long term car storage at a private Essex facility for owners across the UK. Every car is stored indoors with controlled humidity, battery conditioning and clear monthly plans from £250 plus VAT.
Secure indoor storage for cars across the UK
A car should not be treated like an ordinary vehicle left in a public car park or an unsuitable garage. Damp, changing temperatures, battery drain, tyre pressure loss and small fluid leaks can all cause problems while a car is standing.
Equerry 55 provides a private indoor place for cars during winter, between events, while owners are travelling or whenever the car is not being used.
Our private facility is based in Essex, but the service is available to car owners across the UK. Owners can deliver their vehicle directly, or collection and return delivery can be arranged nationwide.
The aim is simple. Keep the car protected, correctly monitored and ready for the next drive.
What your car gets while it is stored
Every car receives the same main level of indoor care from the day it arrives.

“In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of, so I decided to build it myself.”
Same reason this exists. Nowhere kept cars the way we wanted our own kept, so we built it.
Long Term Car Storage for cars with history and meaning
Equerry 55 stores cars of different ages, makes, values and conditions. The car does not need to be extremely rare, concours prepared or financially valuable.
Some cars are professionally restored and used for shows, tours or weekend drives. Others are ongoing projects, older family cars or vehicles inherited from a parent or relative.
A car may matter because of its market value, but it may matter even more because of its history, memories or connection to the owner's family.
We store British, German, Italian, French, American and Japanese classics, as well as modern classics and emerging collector cars.
The storage plan is chosen around the car, its condition, how long it will stay and how much care the owner wants.
When Long Term Car Storage makes sense
Winter storage
Keep the car away from rain, frost, road salt and exposed parking during winter.
Long term ownership
A private indoor place for a car that will be kept for years rather than sold.
Travel and time abroad
Keep the car protected while working away, travelling or spending time outside the UK.
Not enough space at home
Free up garage or driveway space without selling a car you want to keep.
Restoration and building work
Store the car away from dust, tools and busy work while restoration parts, repairs or home building work are being arranged.
A car with personal meaning
Protect a parent's car, an inherited classic or another vehicle connected to family history and memories.
Shows and seasonal use
Keep the car protected between events, tours, rallies and summer drives.
A growing collection
Create more space without taking on another garage or a long commercial lease.
UK collection and return
Collection and return delivery can be arranged across the UK and quoted separately.

Pricing note
Prices shown apply to standard vehicle storage. High value or specialist vehicles may require prior approval and a bespoke quotation depending on declared value, insurance requirements and any special handling requirements.
“The best Ferrari ever built is the next one.”
Fifty five percent relative humidity. Ten to twelve degrees through winter. Checked on a schedule and written down, so the next car is kept better than the last.
Long Term Car Storage designed around preservation
Cars can react badly to damp, long periods without use and repeated changes in temperature. Corrosion, battery failure, tyre pressure loss and small leaks can develop slowly while the vehicle is standing.
Controlled indoor storage helps reduce exposure to poor weather, condensation and unsuitable outdoor conditions.
Battery conditioning, tyre pressure checks, fluid checks and condition records also make it easier to spot changes before they become larger problems.
For owners who want more regular monitoring, The Keep includes additional checks and scheduled mechanical exercise during the storage term.

“Small things make perfection, but perfection is no small thing.”
Batteries sulphate. Tyres flat-spot. Fluids draw water and brakes bind. None of it is dramatic and all of it is expensive.
