Hi Tony
Yes in our previous house (well small cottage) I resorted to building a 12 by 6 shed in which to build restore my sevens. It was about 17” above the level at which I could get the car out to the road.
I dug a pit or trench under the shed and purchased a high lift pallet truck (second hand off eBay) The truck could lift 600kg 1200mm high. Theoretically it should not have been used to move loads but.... The side of the shed could be removed. The pallet truck slid nicely under the car and two stout wooden beams transferred the load to the chassis cross members. Once lifted the car could be pulled out and lowered to get it at road level.
We now have a larger house and double garage!
Cheers
Howard
