Don't want to interfere, but when I bought my 1987 +8, I didn't have permanent garage space either, but I bought the car to use and having it outside has certainly helped in that respect.
Need to sell something before winter though!
Malcolm T Malcolm, Not interfering at all - and thanks for the comment. I can't complain generally becuase I DO have garage space but I also have a total of four cars in it at the moment ( and that's with the daily drivers living on the drive!) The problem I have is that I really do live in an exposed, isolated spot up a long access road and to leave a MOg outside - even with something like Tyvec cover is the kiss of death. All you hear about wet, rainy South Wales is, unfortunately, all too true Did it once with an MGB, ruined the car and swore I'd never do it again

Thanks for the response which I've just showed to my wife and we had a chuckle.
'you've got a lot in common with him then' was her response. I've got room for 4 cars, presently full, daily drivers on the drive, and the most likely candidate for outside under a cover unless I sell first is an MGB (GT)!
and it's wet windy and cold in winter....
still bought the +8! (but really need to make space somehow)
thanks again
Malcolm T Malcolm, I must be getting to the desperate level. Last week I found myself looking at those 'up and over' storage ramps advertised in the mags! Ah well, at least it means I won't get re-infected with the 'born again biker' thing

Simon, I think you missed Gerwyns comments on living in Wales. When the car goes into the ground, it'll come up very wet.

Gerwyn, In Canada on hols so only saw your message now -- don't prevaricate -- just go and buy the thing -- it'll stop you looking at Mg's etc. Think of it as saving money as you would end up spending much more on buying and restoring the MG!!!!!!!!!!!!
