XKR convertible living outside

[scruggs]

This might seem to ba strange question but can an XKR or XK8 convertible live outside during the winter without suffering from leaks etc.

We currently have two TVR's that definitely prefer garage life in winter but we are considering buying an XKR to rpelace them and allow us to increase our garden by removing the garage!

Thanks for the reply. The Tuscan leaks in heavy rain whilst the Chimaera slowly soaks up water throughout the winter. I found full covers blew around in the wind and caused paint damage. Sounds like an XKR is more water tight!

Still have not really decided whether to get an XKR or XK8.

Thanks for the responses. Seems like a rusty passenger footwell is one of the items to check for when buying one!

I have been running a Tuscan up to now and the wife has a 5ltr Chimaera so the R would fill the gap nicely.
