The car buff’s ultimate garage has been revealed, complete with an inspection pit, hydraulic lift \u2013 and Batman-style turntable. Combining the thoughts of 2,000 car enthusiasts, with a design firm\u2019s architectural know-how, an image of the perfect vehicle storage area has been created.<\/p>\n
It includes space for two classic motors, as well as automated doors, custom tool cabinets \u2013 and every wrench a car enthusiast could ever need. Other features include a top-of-the-range car diagnostics tool, task lighting, and eco-friendly air con and heating.<\/p>\n
The perfect garage, commissioned by eBay\u00a0with the help of design firm, Bindloss Dawes, also features a state-of-the-art security system, to keep vehicles and equipment safe from harm.<\/p>\n
It comes after the study found 42 percent of garage owners feel their current outbuilding stops them from fulfilling their passion for cars.<\/p>\n
As a result, 64 percent would consider moving house if it came with the \u201cperfect garage\u201d \u2013 paying 4.9 percent over a property\u2019s asking price for such an amenity.<\/p>\n
Laura Richards, for eBay UK, a seller of automotives, and automotive tools and accessories, said: \u201cGarages were originally designed to house cars \u2013 but with vehicles getting bigger and bigger, they no longer provide enough space.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis got us wondering what the perfect garage would look like now \u2013 specifically according to car enthusiasts, who spend their weekends undertaking car repairs and modifications.<\/p>\n
\u201cRespondents were not short of ideas, knowing exactly what they want from their ultimate motoring sanctuary.\u201d<\/p>\n
The study also found the Aston Martin DB5 (22 percent) is the car those polled would most like to have in their perfect garage.<\/p>\n

However, the Jaguar E-Type (18 percent), Porsche 911 (17 percent), Ford Mustang (17 percent), and the Audi R8 (17 percent), wouldn\u2019t be out of place.<\/p>\n
The ideal garage would also have a large tool chest for storage, along with a complete selection of hand tools essential for car repairs and fine-tuning.<\/p>\n
A car charging port would feature, too \u2013 in addition to a tyre changer, air compressor, and a hydraulic car lift. And a full body workshop, ventilation for spray painting, and built-in drainage, so owners can wash their car indoors, would also be key ingredients.<\/p>\n
Pleasingly for neighbours, 79 percent would want their garage to be soundproof, while 71 percent would ensure it was eco-friendly.<\/p>\n
It wouldn\u2019t just include car-related items or features, however \u2013 as a fridge\/freezer, mini-kitchen, jukebox, and pool table were also deemed as must-haves.<\/p>\n
The study, carried out through OnePoll, found 58 percent of car enthusiasts already have a garage, with 22 percent of those spending three or more hours a week in the space.<\/p>\n
Laura Richards, spokeswoman for eBay UK, which has more than 60,000 car tool listings, added: \u201cThe study helps show just how important garages are to motoring enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the findings also suggest many UK garages aren\u2019t fit for purpose \u2013 at least as far as car fans are concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n
