Imagine working in the peace and serenity of the forest with a few cattle strolling by the garage as you causally work on a vintage Aston Martin.

It's a mechanic's dream - working in peace without the sounds of the city interfering with the restoration process.

Uwe's garage has everything needed to keep an old classic in the best shape and it offers amazing views.
