To have the new showroom open in our 25th anniversary year is a fantastic way to celebrate this landmark in the company\u2019s history. I am delighted that we have successfully preserved the mews\u2019 wonderful, traditional character and yet have created what we consider to be one of the finest modern environments in which to display historic cars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 14500 cubic feet of earth was excavated to create the basement showroom, which boasts an extra 1049 square feet of floor area. The company said the hydraulic scissor lift is the only one in the world to feature a detachable roof deck which becomes the ground floor. It also features removable posts that support the deck when in use. The lift weighs 8.75 tonnes and has a lifting capacity of 3 tonnes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_638082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-638082\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-638082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1-100x63.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Fiskens-500x317-1-293x186.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-638082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hydraulic lift at Fiskens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For further information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiskens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fiskens.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Fiskens; photos: John Sanders]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historic automobile specialist Fiskens celebrated its 25th anniversary year with the launch of an updated showroom located in London&#8217;s Queens Gate Place Mews.
