Noble m12 living outside

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone had any experience with leaving an m12 outside to do battle with the elements? would it cope?
Thanx.

Not a great idea. They suffer with corrosion and water gets trapped in the car making it worse

Mine's lived outside since birth (7 years) and has been fine. It's generally covered unless I use it, and it's had the tray off once with a new one, and various parts (ARB, ball joints) replaced due to corrosion, but apart from that on the last full strip down after 6 years Warren @ MV said there was nothing really worse than others of the same age that are garaged but driven on wet roads.

Key is of course to rinse down well each week there is salt on the roads, put a decent wax on every two months, clean suspension etc. every month with a decentt degreaser, spray all moveable things with a protectant and cover with a fitted breathable cover when not driving for more than a week.

Tis the issue with living in greenbelt, I can't have a garage.

You have a car-port though, right? Would one of those underground lifts be permitted?

Nope. Lift thing is the only option, but even that isn't certain to be approved it seems and they are a huge compromise.
