I have a friend who totally ruined a MK VII Bentley Saloon this way.
When he opened the container after the winter the stench of mildew was
awful, and the car was only suitable for parts. There was more than an
inch of oily black water in the bottom of the container. Even the
doors rusted shut. Of course that's an extreme case, but seeing a
grown man cry is not a pretty thing.=20
Make sure you drill a number of holes in the bottom for drainage, and
put ventilation screens at both ends. Also put several packets of rat
poison in with each vehicle, unless you like your seats and rubber
munched on. I know the containers are sealed, but they'll find a way,
trust me.=20
Zoning is a local thing, around here you can't put them where they are
visible from the street.=20
Call your Zoning Official. They're usually pretty nice if you call
them first, if they have to call on YOU, (like when a neighbor
complains) that's when they get nasty.=20
Best of luck-
