Protecting and outdoor dwelling TVR!
Discussion
The TVR is not going to be happy with me...
First she had to share the garage with some German exchange student, then some younger British tart turned up, but she forced that into the driveway, but now some exotic Italian w
e is about to evict her from the garage permanently.
So, how don keep my Tuscan in decent condition living outside?
I've arranged waterproof extension leads etc, for battery conditioner.
What cover? Storm force seems the best? Only cover when clean, ?
Not much more I can do really? Any chassis treatment I should get?
Will get a silica gel thing for inside aurally.

Thanks for the tips!
I had no idea a cover could cause paint issues. Is it particular to paint on fibre glass or can this happen on any car?
Had liked the idea of a cover but will explore other options now, perhaps just a half cover to keep the roof dry.
It's an early Tuscan so not 100% water tight.
I was planning on a top notch breathable one, are these any better?
Main issue with outdoors and no cover is lots of birds and right by a main road which kicks up a lot of dust, so the cars get really grubby in no time.
Will have a Google around for some tent things.

Looked at a variety of options, tents,out-door carcoon things, half covers, plain old wax... The tents looked silly, and outdoor sockets would be an issue in the only place I could put one, and the carcoons looked like a pain in the arse, and perhaps not suited for gravel.
Eventually spent 500 quid on a top of the ranger cover craft outdoor jobbie,
Should minimise any blistering issues, and they seem to be well regarded as quality bits of kit.
Sorted some ip66 outdoor sockets and extension lead for the battery conditioner now, and the 599gtb was collected today! Currently they are just eyeing each other up on the driveway,
