Hi all. Think this is bodywork related to some extent. Looking for recommendations for an outdoor cover / carcoon / portable garage which will keep the car dry through the winter. Ideally I want to find a garage but for those times when I need it at home

If like most minis the car car has been painted it is best to avoid directly covering the body with a cover as this can lead to micro blisters in the paint.

I used a Bike Home car/trike cover for a few years and it was good at keeping rain off the car - perfect fit for a Mini. I no longer need it, and had listed it for sale back in April, but no takers. Happy to let it go for free if you can collect from Cheltenham.

I use a bike/trike cover and it does keep the worst of the weather off the Mini, however condensation does build up on the inside of the cover.Its definitley better than a standard breathable car cover.

I have a bike home thingy, after getting some bad condensation I just leave the flaps open and have a block of wood under the lifting part of the cover to let the air circulate and it’s been fine-far better than a cover, and far better than the car being out in the rain

I've used both the indoor and outdoor carcoon and wholeheartedly recommended them. They're expensive but in my opinion worth it as an investment. I ended up selling my outdoor one and got back what I paid for it. I left an old merc in one and it was bone dry when I took it out.
