The short answer
Furlonger Specialist Cars in Ashford, Kent, is a secure, climate-controlled storage facility with its own specialist workshop. That means one team can store, service, restore, MOT and sell your car. Most storage facilities keep a car safe. We keep it safe and ready to drive.
We are under a mile from Ashford International, about five minutes by car. The high-speed train from London St Pancras takes 37 minutes. For London-based owners of supercars, race cars and classic cars, that makes us one of the most convenient specialist storage facilities in the South East.
Storage and a specialist workshop under one roof
The biggest risk to a stored car is not theft. It is sitting still. Seals dry out, batteries go flat, tyres flat-spot and fluids age. A car that has been parked for a year often needs work before it is safe to drive.
Most storage facilities are just a building. If your car needs a service, an MOT or a repair, it has to be transported to a garage and back. That costs time and money and adds handling risk.
At Furlonger, our storage facility sits alongside our showroom and workshop. Our technicians already service and restore Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani, McLaren and historic race cars. So your car can move from storage to workshop and back without leaving our care. We call it a one-stop shop:
- Sales: buying, selling and sourcing investment-grade and blue-chip cars
- Storage: indoor, climate-controlled and secure
- Servicing: routine maintenance, major services, diagnostics and MOT preparation
- Restoration: multi-award-winning, nut-and-bolt restorations

Ready when you are: 37 minutes from London St Pancras
A stored car is only useful if you can get to it. Our Ashford location is one of the easiest places in the UK to reach from central London and mainland Europe.
- By train from London: 37 minutes on the high-speed service from St Pancras International to Ashford International.
- From the station: under a mile, about five minutes by car.
- From Paris and Brussels: under two hours by train.
- By car: 6 minutes (2.3 miles) from Junction 9 of the M20.
- To Europe: a short drive to the Channel Tunnel.
Here is how it works in practice. Tell us when you want your car. We check it over, top it up and bring it to temperature. You take the train from London, and your car is waiting when you arrive.
Heading to a tour, a concours or a historic race in Europe? We can prepare the car and move it in our discreet covered transporters, or you can drive it straight onto Le Shuttle.
Specialist care for supercars, race cars and classic cars
Since 2007 we have bought, sold, serviced and restored some of the most important road and race cars in the world. Some have stayed in our storage facility, cared for by our workshop, for decades.
- Supercars and hypercars: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti (including EB110 and Veyron servicing), Pagani, McLaren, Koenigsegg and Jaguar XJ220.
- Race cars: historic Formula 1 and competition cars, including event preparation and transport.
- Classic cars: from carburettor tuning on a classic Ferrari to full nut and bolt restoration.
Our restoration work has won multiple concours class awards in the UK and abroad. We are also a member of the Historic & Classic Vehicles Alliance, which works to protect the future of classic cars.
For an investment-grade car, this matters. The people storing your car understand its value, its history and how to keep it in the right condition. Read about our specialist servicing and award-winning restoration.
How to choose a storage facility for a high value car
Whether you choose us or someone else, ask every facility these questions before you hand over the keys.
- Is it indoor and climate controlled? Damp is the main enemy of a stored car. Ask how temperature and humidity are managed.
- How is it secured? Look for an alarm, monitored CCTV, controlled access and staff on site.
- Is the car started and exercised? Batteries, tyres and seals all suffer when a car sits still.
- Who moves the car? Ask whether the facility’s own staff handle it, or whether the work is subcontracted.
- Can they service and MOT it on site? Without a workshop, any job means moving the car elsewhere.
- Do they know your marque? A supercar, a historic race car and a 1960s classic need different care.
- How easy is it to get to? Think about how you will collect the car, not just where it lives.
- How quickly can you have the car back? Ask how much notice they need to have it ready to drive.
