Garage Lift
My new toy -its awesome and bought for £500 plus £60 trailer hire to pick it up!
It's a Cascos 5 metric ton lift.
Bit heavy to install but I managed it on my own with some Locost lifting techniques

It looks like you have the garage for it.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Very nice 
Wil the frame work of roller door restrict how high you can lift tin top cars?

I am jealous, looks a good one.
I didnt have the head room for a full two post lift and due to having bikes I just adapted my 700KG bike lift to do both.
Not perfect but does save the back a lot.

I have about 3 metres head room , but I'll be removing the cross piece for the door and re bracketing the side rails onto the wall .
I will then be able to lift a 7 so that it's well above head height.
More difficult with a full size car , but I'm working at the possibility of some possible changes to the roof timbers

Bike Lift
When you say adapted do you just mean the wood or have you modified the lift as well?

No I never touched the bike lift, adapted by building the platform around it as it sits 6" high fully closed.
I put a 2" thick rubber block at the four corners of the lift lined up with the chassis

Clever is that, but after looking at the cost of the bike lifts I could buy a car one for less.
