How storing your classic car can raise its value

Your classic car is your pride and joy, and you doubtless want to protect your investment as much as possible. Did you know that simply storing your classic properly, such as in a specialist storage unit, can increase its value? It’s true! At Containerstorageunits.co.uk we’ve stored countless classics over the years – here’s why you should let us look after yours too.

Protection from theft

Your classic means the world to you, but unfortunately it could also mean the world to somebody else too. Theft of classic cars is common due to the inferior security offered by old locks. When you store your classic car professionally with us, we’re able to keep it in our alarmed, secure facility where it will benefit from 24 hour a day CCTV coverage. This gives you piece of mind, and prevents damage from attempted theft and keeps your vehicle’s history as clean as possible – all of this keeps your car’s value intact.

Safety from the elements

When you store your classic in a specialist storage unit you’re guaranteeing its condition isn’t going to degrade over time. Even if you store it in a garage, if it’s not fully weather-proof the elements can still creep in. Fluctuations in temperature, creeping damp, ice, and rain can all have a significantly negative impact on your car’s value. The bodywork, the paintwork, the glass, the interior, everything can suffer – from rust spots to mildew, it’s much easier to protect your car’s condition, and its value, by keeping it in a temperature-controlled storage unit.

The right mileage

Your classic car’s value is affected heavily by the mileage – too much, or too little, can make it much more difficult to get the right price from it when you decide you want to sell. How does a storage unit help this? It prevents you from driving the car too much, putting too many miles on it and eating into your investment. Yet due to the accessible location and 24 hours a day access, you can still drive and enjoy your car when you really want to.

If you have a classic car, store it with containerstorageunits.co.uk to keep your investment safe.
