I had been a member of the Bentley Drivers Club since 1954. In 1968
I saw an advert in the Bentley Drivers Club Review, from an
Englishman living in Italy, asking for help to look after his two
Bentleys as he did not have the facility to keep them in Italy. He
came quite regularly to the UK and would want to use them whenever
he had the opportunity.
This worked very well and in 1978 we decided to offer car storage to
other overseas owners. We are now able to look after 230 cars and
still have several owners who have been with us from the beginning.
Since the first car, an M.G. T.F, there have been cars of almost
every make and era. There have been articles written in magazines,
including one in the Japanese edition of Esquire. The TV programme
Top Gear spent a day filming, although this was edited down to 4.5
minutes of actual viewing time. We know from our overseas clients
that this has been shown in all the far eastern countries.
We believe TigaStor was the first company to offer professional car
storage.
Since then it has pioneered all the best practices in looking after
its client's cars, such as dehumidified environment, a regular
maintenance programme, innovative insurance schemes, etc.
Owners keeping their cars with us for periods over 12 to 15 years
are not uncommon, but the same levels of service and dedication are
given to owners who entrust us with their cars for a matter of
weeks.
A quarter of a century of looking after cars and still willing to
chat to clients about whatever vehicle or vehicles they are
interested in!
Location
TigaStor is situated close to Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, giving
easy access to Heathrow, London, Motorways and Silverstone.
Owners can be met at Aylesbury or Leighton Buzzard railway station
(central London 45 or 30 minutes respectively). Alternatively, we
can arrange to meet their flight at Heathrow or Gatwick.
Accommodation
Cars are stored in secure, dry airy buildings which are used for car
storage only. If required a dehumidified environment can be supplied
at slightly higher cost. Our buildings are insurance company
approved, and fitted with intruder alarms.
Routine Care
At commencement of storage, cars are washed, leather dried and the
interiors valeted; tyres are inflated to 45lbs.sq.in, and, prior to
final delivery, fluid levels are checked and tyre pressures
corrected, including the spare. There is no charge for this service.
Whilst in storage the cars' batteries are disconnected. We recommend
that a battery conditioner be fitted. (See price list).
