I agree with Johnha as above, I mainly shoot portraits and landscapes with MF so on a
portrait shoot I generally don't take the 25-45 as its a beast, and on a landscape I don't take the 150 F2.8.

I leave a Fuji x100s in the car all the time, tucked under the drivers seat, just check it occasionally and recharge the battery.

Yep, defiantly well worth keeping a camera in the car, I have one permanently under the drivers seat, they do say the best camera is the one you have with you even if its just a phone camera

Me to, defiantly #1

Yep, totally agree, at £250 its worthy of good consideration but not at £450

The " Kipper " one is superb, well seen and shot.

Worth another bump. ☺

I cant help on the backgrounds as I use a 3m x 5m wide white cloth bg

But I offer a few other suggestions, any lights plus softboxes you use will encroach on the width plus if you want a totally white background, you'll have to pull your subject 2m at least off the bg. You'll introduce natural light, obviously, by opening the garage door, this will affect a portrait on a black background.

The other things you may wish to consider, is enough power sockets to avoid trailing leads, insulating the roof / doors to keep any warmth in, heating the space sufficiently, security for the equipment and avoiding damp.

Loads of excellent detail, particularly #2 and #4

Well shot.
