Best advice - don`t garage it - use it at least once a week & enjoy Morganeering in the wind, rain, snow & lovely bright cold days!!

Agree with Phil some of my best drives have been on crisp cold January mornings.

Me too. Well wrapped up and a good heater. What more do you need?

I agree with the "use you Mog" approach, though not when it is icey and there is a lot of salt, mostly becuase washing the salt off with cold water isn't fun!
I've got an electrically heated waistcoat, a legacy from bike days, and with the heater on full it is warm and rather nice. A bit like riding a bike without the risks and discomfort!

Good afternoon Phil,Tuftie,Roger,Dave,Budster & Peter.
I know but....we have lots of salt on the roads so i prefer to keep her inside until early March. I go for a spin whenever it is a dry sunny winter day otherwise i leave her dry & warm.
Thx for yr replies

Herman. Understood. When I am unable to use the car for an extended period, my routine is as follows: * Ensure car is clean, polished and suspension greased * Erect hood. * Ensure fuel tank is at least two-thirds full * Increase tyre pressures to 30psi * Use wheel chocks rather than handbrake * Once a week, roll car a short distance so it rests on a different segment of the tyres * Once a week, connect Optimate battery condiioner until I get the green light * Ensure anti rodent (ultra-sound) device is working. * Keep car covered. I use 2 bed sheets, which I can pop into the tumble-dryer, if they feel damp. Seems to work OK.
