Today marks the grand opening of a new supercar facility in Gatwick, catering specifically to the ultra-rich. Located in West Sussex, SHY Automotive boasts a whopping 50,000 square feet of space, filled to the brim with some of the most valuable and coveted cars ever made. This luxurious "toy box" prides itself on offering top-tier security and care for those who own ultra-expensive vehicles and are in need of a safe and secure place to store them.
The facility itself is a state-of-the-art masterpiece, equipped with the most advanced storage technology and a team of highly trained security personnel to ensure its impenetrable protection at all times. From initial images released, it is clear that this location is a dream come true for any car enthusiast, with an impressive array of vehicles that could only be found in one's wildest dreams.
But don't let its lavishness fool you- SHY Automotive is not shy at all about revealing its location, situated just a short 15-minute drive from Gatwick Airport. The company exudes confidence in its cutting-edge security measures, believing that they are more than enough to deter any potential thieves. With fingerprint recognition required for entry, 40 CCTV cameras constantly monitoring the premises, and a professional security team on duty 24/7, clients can rest assured that their prized possessions are in the safest of hands.
In addition to its top-of-the-line security, SHY also takes great care in protecting the privacy of its clients. Restricted access to the main vehicle vault and a rigorous vetting process for all staff employed adds an extra layer of security, ensuring the utmost discretion and confidentiality for those who choose to store their vehicles here.
Inside the bunker, a custom racking storage system made from galvanized steel is used, with each car securely placed onto a 2.2 by 4.8 meter tamper-proof platform. A special forklift, designed specifically for SHY's luxury setup, adds an element of excitement as it gives the appearance of a supercar vending machine. The facility has the capacity to store up to 490 vehicles at a time, and each platform is equipped with a fluid monitoring drip tray, a battery conditioning power supply, and ratchet strap tethering for added safety.
To maintain the pristine condition of the vehicles, the facility maintains humidity levels at an optimal range of 48 to 55 percent. This prevents any moisture, rust, or corrosion from affecting the cars, even during prolonged periods of inactivity. Before entering the garage, each car receives a mini valet and is thoroughly documented by the on-site team, ensuring that it remains in perfect condition.
Clients have access to their vehicles 365 days a year, from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. However, a special request must be made for access outside of these hours. The cost to store a vehicle at this prestigious location is £100 a week per car, with additional fees for after-hours access.
According to SHY spokespeople, this facility marks a new era in secure vehicle storage and fills a significant gap in the market. They pride themselves on offering an unparalleled level of care and security, setting a new standard in the industry. Co-founder Daniel Wood explains that their approach is rooted in the understanding that "every vehicle we store is more than just a mode of transport; it's a treasured asset, often with significant sentimental and financial value." With this in mind, SHY is committed to providing the highest level of care and security to preserve the value of these remarkable machines. Business partner Desmond Boughton adds, "Our facility is designed with meticulous attention to detail, from advanced fire protection systems to a unique racking and a bespoke loading-and-unloading system. We offer peace of mind to our clients, knowing their cars are stored in an environment that prioritizes security, preservation, and discretion. SHY Automotive is not just a storage solution; it's a commitment to excellence in every aspect of vehicle care." In addition to its impressive storage capabilities, the facility also features a boardroom and members' lounge for clients to relax and enjoy their time at SHY Automotive.
