Women Only

"The Prestige Track Club is the UK market leader in teaching women how to handle powerful sports cars safely.  They include instruction on track, off-road, and ABS, ESP and Anti-HiJack demonstrations with the aim to build confidence and experience in customers own cars on race circuits and rally stages. We also are concerned for your safety in an increasingly dangerous driving environment."

Sarah Hutchinson has been racing, and organising racing, for 20 years and has instructed for major manufacturers at circuits including Mallory Park and Goodwood. She is the Principal Instructor at Prestige and, with her "All Girl" team, they specialise in Women Only race, off-road and car handling courses.

Prestige runs a variety of vehicles but Sarah enjoys events with her historic racing cars and maintains a fleet including Lotus 18, Lancia Beta Coupe, Lotus 61 Formula Ford and a Reliant Scimiter (remember them!) at home.

Prestige invested in a Glenfinnan 4 Post which doubles up storage space and also acts as the maintenance bay.

Sarah says "The lift has added a whole new "garage space" to our block, which avoids planning issues with the house being Listed, and also works as a very handy lift to work on the cars' undersides!"

A Glenfinnan 4 Post Lift, "Just the Job!"

You've decided on a 4 Post Lift. Well, if your name is Martin and you live near Newcastle, you did.

You speak to the supplier; they take all the relevant details regarding the size of your garage, types of car you're going to work on, or store;  your architect is happy and according to the drawings it's going to fit. The council have signed off the plans, we've agreed the price, you've paid!

What happens now?

Your lift is selected from stock and loaded onto transport

We get up early, check the map and drive North,

to arrive just as the rain stops for a cup of tea!

Then we set about transforming the garage left by the builders from a single car store to one that'll securely hold your prize possessions.

Only stopping for some wonderful seaside fish & chips!

Completing the install,

thoroughly testing and demonstrating the lift

before leaving the site clean and tidy and taking all our tools, packaging etc away

We were happy to receive these comments from the customer:-

"Very pleased with the install and the efforts that you went to install and check the lift, I know with the clearance the installation wasn't easy. I have removed the ramps for present when bringing in the lower car but will play about with the height of these ramps in the near future with the hope to leave them on permanently at present wheel chocks hold the car in place besides being in gear and handbrake on. Attached picture of Renault GTA Turbo (soon to be sold) on top of Jaguar Mk2. When I get my Cobra replica back I will take some more photos and send them on.

Again thanks for all your efforts very much appreciated and the lift is perfect.
