If you go onto his website, click on the Services tab and then open the photo bottom right, you can see the red GTA on the lift at a low setting, behind the yellow GTA. On the Projects tab there is a photo that includes one of Chris’s Avantimes.

Roadspeed is near the end of a cul-de-sac in an old railway arch with other garage units which are closed on Sundays so there should be plenty of parking available.
