Selling a car from storage should be the easiest sale there is. The eight records buyers ask for, and why recommissioning comes before advertising.

Storing a motorcycle long term is not a longer winter lay-up. What fails over a year, in the order it happens, and the cheap fixes that prevent it.

Storing an electric car is not the same as laying up a petrol one. State of charge, the 12 volt battery that actually fails, and vampire drain explained.
