Dan , you must have a warehouse or a rather large secure parking lot at your disposal. I count 10 vws and a Ford minivan. Fleet or dealer license?

Dan , you must have a warehouse or a rather large secure parking lot at your disposal. I count 10 vws and a Ford minivan. Fleet or dealer license? No warehouse. Just a 26x38 garage holds 5 and a portable garage for 3. Where I live, crime is very low. During the summer most stay outside. Winter the topless ones go inside. As I do one per year during the winter months, {My GT2 will be done before July} I have to keep one bay in the garage for my winter project. Space is at a premium. Cars, parts and tools everywhere. No fleet or dealer license. I inquired about fleet insurance...no go. 4 are on classic car ins. 5 are on regular policy. I a married and my wife does not drive. I only renew the plates on 5 cars per year. 10 cars...10 years. I also have another Kyote body and a complete Manx clone {needs restoring}, and a 72 super Beetle. The super was a steal. I spent 2 hours fixing a guy's 68 Beetle convertible auto stick. He had the 72 stripped, primed and all new interior and every mechanical part needed to restore it. It is a rust free car from New Hampshire. He was so happy with the work I did that he GAVE me the 72. It is next winters project.
