What is that beautiful red machine???

I guess you mean the 1972 Morgan 4/4 1600. I bought it in 1991, just after I sat my accountancy finals. It is not long back from rebuild no.3 in my hands, so is very shiny. (My wife's red Fiat 500C is just about visible). Seen below in Chandlers yard, Belton, before any Grenadiers had been released to retail customers.

@emax If I had a bigger shed, I could keep some more cars; I have been threatened with serious personal violence if I buy any more "Rusty Scrap" for the drive. The Morgan gets a bye as I have had it for years, the 2000 Mazda MX5 California is (nominally) my wife's. My lockup - 10 miles away is full of parent's furniture and my father's classical records and CDs.

@Jeremy996, it's a great collection, I love every single one of it. (y)
On the other hand, you also have to take care of everyone in your stable. 🤷‍♂️

By the way: All sheds, garages and workshops in the world have one thing in common: they are too small.;)

Finally the shed is a go. After months of playing around with certifiers to get council planning approval I received the green light a couple of weeks ago.
Builder has been engaged
Concreter engaged
Site prep works engaged.
10 metre wide x 15 metre deep
Or just under 33 feet x 50 feet
3.2 metres high at the eaves. Or 10.5 feet
Fully enclosed section is 10 metres wide x 9 metres deep
33 x 30 feet.

My land is 20 metres wide x 60 metres deep so plenty of space

Concreter can't start until May
Shed kit built locally in Bundaberg and takes around 8 weeks to arrive on site.
My builder and his offsider are bringing up a boat and a caravan and will be staying on site for the week it will take to build.
Should be completed by early June.
Then the inspectors sign off and the real work can go ahead.
Electrical
Plumbing
Lighting
Ceiling fans
Bathroom pod outside the door on the right side.
Epoxy floors
Pool/snooker table
Bar
BBQ's
Kitchen
Bedroom.
Huge TV and surround sound.

As an apartment dweller this makes me reflect on life choices. Good luck with the build Dave!

In my area that build would be well over $70,000 USD! Such crazy pricing we decided to skip a major renovation and are selling and building new.

It would be a lot more here if I was building a "liveable" shed.
So mine has no kitchen, toilet, bathroom etc.

@DaveB - I really like the open + enclosed layout!

Thanks
The idea is that the two vehicles are going to live under the 6 metre deep by 7 metre wide "garaport" section most of the time.
The 10 metre x 9 metre enclosed area is going to be a man cave.

I have a custom built snooker table to go in there.
It is solid slate and around 3/4 a full size snooker table.

I also have a reasonable size theatre setup

No way I would want a bare concrete floor.
We don't wear shoes when inside so feet and everything else would get filthy.
Not to mention the grandchildren.

I too am shocked at the current cost to epoxy a floor. I did it myself 22 years ago and it has held up remarkably well. That cost me time but a few 5gal pails of epoxy were not even close to $1k.

What gives? Should I be looking at a different coating?

The shed has a 150 square metre floor area so not a small job.
In fact it is too big for a few of the companies I contacted.
In reality the epoxy is only about 6% of the initial cost and will end up being less than 5% eventually.

Mine is about 111 square meters. I haven’t got a price yet, but just put out the first RFQ.
