Good color choice. Actually to my eye many of the P cars look better in white. The lines are so subtle that white provides a great canvass to show them off.

To answer a few of the questions:
1. Which car to choose? Well I should have a system, but to be honest I don't
. It is just a feeling thing really, what is the weather like (the often rules out some of the leaky ones), where am I going, do I want to get there slow or fast? There are a few favourites for certain reasons that probably get chosen more than they should. I live pretty much in the centre of my city so I am surrounded by plenty of traffic and busy roads so I will often take something like the Morgan which is fun to cruise in, sounds great and feels very at one with the open air. Not suitable when it's too hot or cold though.
We occasionally do charity or club drive days where a call goes out to any friends who are keen to drive and get a bunch out at once. That's usually a recipe for a breakdown or two!
2. What does it look like outside? Very plain and boring. It is essentially a large commercial looking box. This helps with security and keeping it discrete. The one feature of note is the fact that the front part was once a service station (gas station) in the distant past so it still has a bit of a drive through layout out there and some old cast iron BP badges on the ground where the tanks used to be (still are? who knows).
I did mention to the wife we should set up a waterfall going over the vehicle entrance for a proper bat cave entry, that garnered me the same look most of my "great" ideas get, I concede it might make going in and out in a convertible tricky.
I failed to take some operational shots the other day I'm afraid, too busy getting it done, but I will shortly.
On a side note I love seeing all the garages on here, to me they will always be a place of happiness having spent many years growing up spending lots of time working on things in one with my father. To me they are the heart of the home. I'm just glad I got to contribute to my favourite thread on here and keen to see the photos keep rolling in. Also very excited about the Anonymous918 garage like everyone else, no pressure!

Thanks. Would like to replace the GT4 with a GT3 at some point. Then it will be complete. Maybe if I make CIO sometime soon. Need to work on an MBA first.
