I(We) am moving to Donegal in the new year in order to enjoy the goodlife. One of the benefits that it will bring is that now I (we) will have the space to build a garage for my classic....hopefully classics. What would you recommend in terms of size and spec of what I should build now that I can. I wouldn't like something too big however I would like space for at least two classics and an old bike or two. Should I build in an inspection pit etc? Is there any thing else I should think of.

Roof height, in case you want a 4 post lift to store one car above another. Also a decent sized door so that you can move one car out without moving others.

A decent floor to fix a lift to.

A lift is better than a pit I reckon

Also, a strategy to combat condensation and to keep the cars rust free.

My garage has a black roof - its thermal cycles encourage condensation - there's a lot to consider....

It'll never, ever, be big enough - build it to hold the number of cars that you can reasonably maintain and drive plus one more. That figure is four cars for me (excluding the daily driver)
