The founders are Oliver Hagger and James Mills, a collector and motoring journalist respectively – and car enthusiasts through and through.
For the past three decades, Oliver successfully sailed through the shipbroking industry, co-founding his own brokerage in 2002 and retiring from the global trade in 2022. Over that time, he has enjoyed owning interesting cars in all shapes and sizes.
During the same period, James was an editor for the likes of Top Gear, The Sunday Times Driving, Auto Express and Hagerty. This period provided deep insight into the world of specialist, enthusiast and collector vehicles.
We believe we can provide more than exceptional service to vehicle owners. We are committed to both safeguarding the hobby we all love and working toward a greener future, by offsetting the carbon emissions of every car stored with us.
Our state-of-the-art facility is powered by solar energy and harvested rainwater, setting new standards in sustainability. At Racing Green Car Storage, we believe in protecting the environment while providing exceptional care for our clients and their cars.
Privacy and security are at the heart of our choice of location for our 10,000sq ft facility, in Kent.
But we take things a step further, with our sophisticated Cotes dehumidifier system, which maintains a relative humidity level of 55%, ensuring cherished cars and their precious components and materials are perfectly maintained while in our care.
Our pair of generous load bays can accommodate our Brian James Race Transporter 6 trailer with ease, and even HGV-type vehicle transporters, meaning no loading or unloading in bad weather.
And with the latest generation security, CCTV and fire systems, and insurance approval from market leader Howden, we offer complete peace of mind.
