Wanted: Garage/storage space in Europe for my 348

If Europe includes the UK for your trips, you are more than welcome to store it in my garage, on a trickle charger, safe in the garage, behind secure fencing with guard dogs and an armed householder! Pm me if I can help buddy

 

Damn Sid, you are a great guy!

Not many people would offer that...

 

Europe is a big place: from Cadiz or Catania to Copenhagen or Brest to Bucarest - do you have any feel for a preference ?

Also why can't you turn the car off whilst not in use rather than need a charger ?

Once you have a better geographic idea you might want to try posting in the European section

One other element to consider before you ship is confirmation that you can get proper insurance to comply with European regulations

 

You’d be okay, I ran a C5 Vette which was left hand drive here back in 2002, it was still an awesome fast car (once I changed the run flat Goodyear’s for a set of Avon Turbospeed, that is). Only issues you get is when overtaking, you have to get used to poking out behind the cars in front to see what’s coming, but you get used to using upcoming corners and curves in the road to plan attack!

 

As greyboxer said, it'll help when we/you know more about whereabouts in Europe you'll be. It could take several days just to drive from say Paris, to Rome. So maybe you'll be in need of several locations for these storage boxes.

 

I live in Belgrade, Serbia. I am about to give up my second garage space which is 100 Euros/month in a luxury building. What is unique about the garage here in this building is each space is a private garage inside the building with a private garage door. It has outlets and even a sink. The main door to the garage is closed at night and there is a security guard at the front desk downstairs.

Air Serbia flies non-stop to here from JFK with very reasonable business class prices for sleeper seats.

Let me know if I can be of assistance. Happy to help a fellow FChatter.

 

What do you have in mind to do if you are unfortunate enough to break down on the road? 348’s are pretty old now...wishing you the best of luck but just wondering what your plan is.

 

There's Ferrari free Con Te for which you can register which will take you to a main dealer [email protected]

 

Love this forum, the knowledge and friendliness around is a credit to the site!

 

If all else fails try some of the Ferrari main dealers. I know my local in the uk does storage for some of their clients. I expect their special clients, but it would be a starting point.

You could also reach out to the Ferrari owners club (uk). Very friendly bunch and would hopefully put you in contact with their equivalents in Europe who you could then ask and also hopefully meet up with.

Appreciate you will likely skip uk, but if you do happy to help as well. Couple of good storage facilities near me (1.5 hrs from Heathrow) and if your desperate I’ve got a spare garage bay. (No fence, dog will lick you to death, but will be in good company with my 348!!).

Whatever you do, enjoy it will be great, so much to see, so many great roads!!

 

apart from the fact that saying 'storing/driving in europe, makes as little sense as saying storing/driving in america......

how about some practical questions....
- what license plate do you plan on running the car on?
- what insurance do you have?
- what driver's license do you have?
- do you have any idea where you are going?
- have you ever driven in europe?

i can perhaps hook you up with some places in switzerland, but first i need to make sure you know what you are doing.

 

Was down in the garage today so I snapped a couple of pics.

One more place I just thought of is in Berlin. Actually they also have a location in Dusseldorf.

It's a very cool place to visit and/or store your car. My friend kept his '67 Corvette there for many years. It's flanked by restoration shops and it used to have the official Ferrari dealer showroom on the premises. (Don't know if it is still there.) They have a cafe and you can just walk around and check out all of the cars. Some are in glass boxes, some are not.

 

I have parking available for your Ferrari in Lugano, Switzerland, if you need for a couple of months.

 

if you are looking for a place in Germany..have a look at Motorworld Stuttgart...many people store their cars there..they are taken care of if you want, its close to an airport and just a bit more than an hour to great driving regions like the black forrest the swabian alb and its also not far to switzerland...but they offer this in other places like Munich etc too...

Another opportunity would be "Klassikstadt Frankfurt" http://www.klassikstadt.de/klassikstadt/stellplatz/#boxengasse
Would cost you 220€/month
The Klassikstadt is 20km from Frankfurt airport.
..and there is a Ferrari indi http://www.die-sportwagen-spezialisten.de/ with a good reputation.
Lamborghini and McLaren are in the same building. So, good company for your Ferrari.
Unluckily everything is in German, but it never hurts to ask.
On the 22nd of July there are the 5. Maserati Days, but I think, your 348 will also be welcome.
