What ian said , that sunny looked like it had been dragged out of the sea after being dropped from 300000ft. The later bir maybe because its a honking sunny but the first bit was definitely becaue it was in a non ventilated concrete garage.

What recommendations for a freshly painted car then?
I feel having it outside in winter wouldn't be the best with extreme cold and possible snow.

Want to keep her in good nick.

Could you use a company like this?

A council garage in my area is about £70 a month so this is not much more expensive and it's storage specifically for cars.

I thought about using a specialist storage company for my lude before I moved house, but I thought if I put it away I'd never go back for it, and if that's the case it may as well sit on the drive

Yep those car storage places would be a good shout.
Or if you have a drive you can keep the car on (concrete, tarmac, gravel etc) I have no personal experience of them, but those car cocoon things are meant to be excellent. Or one of these? https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/prod ... SRC-garage

I've been wondering about those. I'm not sure how to anchor one to what's basically soil and flint, though.

I reckon the weight of a car should hold it down

sorry

I don't want to use it upside down, though.
