Some of us have massive collections but as a result have problems displaying the collection properly.

Do you prefer to keep the cars in the case or display the car on a plinth or some other form of home made stand?

What about cleaning and dusting?

Do you make display furniture or do you purchase it?

What about lighting?

What about storage when items are not on display?

How do you rotate your display and do you have display themes?

I genuinely have problems because my display areas are overflowing. This can make it look a bit untidy. How best is it to make your cars look their best?

I attempt to display everything. Maybe I shouldn't?

Any ideas would be welcome and I am confident that others here have similar problems to me!

Mine are all boxed (where I have a box ) and shelved by Race type in my cellar.

I don't have a suitable place or space to show them. However once my public / club track premises are finalized, they will be on Public Display , even if just to tempt visitors and show them what's around.

I have a side issue that is very linked, to add to this great topic from Mophead

...

Storage over long periods of time..

Should the wheels be kept off the ground to prevent flat spots ? or does it not matter.

Bear in mind that 90% of cars are presented in boxes that DON'T accomodate keeping the wheels in the air . Should they?
