Work on our Stanley's new garage is well advanced now - 90" clearance under the roof beams so the car will fit in with the hood up and 6" to spare. We went for a wooden garage partly because it will be better for storing the car (more museum storage experience drawn upon here, plus advice from other Stanley owners).

The garage is as wide as the planning authorities would permit; it will take the car plus 3' working space all around.

Pulling together a checklist for starting, running & putting away the car. The combination of google documents and the Steam Car Club of Great Britain Forum gathered many helpful commencts from experienced Stanley owners in the US.

Now that I have been 'retired' work on our Stanley has restarted with the help of some redundancy money. A new garage is being built for her, and she is due back at Stanley experts J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations for comissioning in the summer.
