Mothballing my TVR

[Zumbruk]

If a certain set of (admittedly unlikely) circumstances occur, I may want to mothball my Chimaera for a couple of years. Can anyone recommend things I should do, other than;

- Remove battery
- Put on axle stands (remove tyres & put somewhere dark/cool?)

I've vaguely heard about running oil into the bores. Also, I believe the Rover V8 is prone to its oil pump draining out if left for a while, so needing to be primed before restarting. Anything else?

Naah, nothing as serious as that. Just a small funding shortfall.
