Storage for your classic 911

[Gio G]

Would like to understand fellow owners approach to storing their classics? I have found a decent place, luckily very local and reasonable. Is it as simple as just playing it by ear on the weather front before you put it away for hibernation?

I appreciate that the salt on roads needs to be avoided, however I suspect they start doing that when you have frost/ice warnings. Any advice on what others do is much appreciated. Also any tips around preparing it? Good wash and wax, over inflate tyres, buy trickle charge etc..

Thanks G

September?? Madness...

Gio - these cars need to be driven. Yes, avoid salt, but you won’t see any until late Nov-Dec

For storage I would:

Use a trickle charger
Some recommend fresh oil
Tyre mats to prevent tyre flat spots
Full tank of fuel with Stabiliser added (Stabil do one)
Coat fuses and electrical connections with gt85 or similar protector
GT85 on the wheels

Thanks - some great pointers.. The GT85 on the wheels? I usually use it for my bike chain... it stops corrosion?

The salt is a big concern, I know around our local roads they start to put it down when there are signs of potential frost in the mornings..
