Has anyone ever looked into developing their garage site into flats, houses etc as an investment??

Hi all, I am just looking for some insight and advice... Me and my business partner have ran our car sales company in Bristol for 18 months now. We have done very well and built our car portfolio to over 30 cars ranging from £3000-£8000, without the help of car stocking loans. However we are seriously out growing our premises, we are on a small private road and we rent spaces on another car sales pitch, so its really time consuming driving back and forth using to sites to sell cars from. We have been searching for car sales pitches in Bristol for a while now and there isn't anything around, we have even looked into outside of Bristol in areas like somerset, Gloucester, and Wiltshire but unsure on the distance. Does anyone have any experience selling cars in these area's? currently we sell 70-80% of our stock on average every month would we expect this to drop if we came away from the huge car industry in Bristol? And if anyone has any advice on finding new premises for 50 cars or have any advice on getting that amount of cars in stock for sale in unorthodox ways (e.g. having a storage yard and do by appointment only and transporting the cars in for viewings?). Or if you know of any places to let or for sale that could be suitable for us? Cheers
