Keeping a Caterham outdoors?

[Sortie 10]

I feel that a Seven simply has to be part of my "auto-biography" in the near future, and am spending many hours researching/dreaming.

One problem - it will be necessity be kept outside (on a drive) as I don't have a garage. Is this feasible or will the car (even if covered) deteriorate at an unnatural rate? If a garage is a pre-requisite, I guess I will have to move (and factor a new kitchen Seven into the mortgage )

Renting a garage could be a sensible option and would keep the miles down (out of sight, out of mind). Carport is out of the question (I live in a basement flat) but my large-ish garden could take a cheapo pre-fab garage (and this may count as permitted development & not need planning)

Thanks for your ideas, I thought you might convince me otherwise, you are a devoted crowd here and are clearly set on spreading the word - the Z4's days could be numbered in favour of purer motoring.
