I need to store my vehicle outside for a while. Ilt’s complete but no windows fitted
I was thinking of a cloth type cover and also a waterproof one on top
Any thoughts on the best way to go
It will be for a few months

If you have space for it a 2 x3 m polytunnel is a good solution - just make sure it is well fixed down.

This sort of thing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225348810161?...R_CRz_y9YQ

A Smart Car cover fits a Seven quite well, Search for Smart for 2 car cover on eBay, it’s called Mobile Garage and it certainly does the job.

Cheers

Don't forget the rising damp where the car is sited. During a house move, our 7 rested alongside the caravan in the tented porch for about 9 months.

I recently bought (2nd-hand, but never used) a Moltex cover originally from www.carcovers.eu/car-covers
Moltex Pre-War Xsmall 395x140x160
£155+VAT 3 years ago.

I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a very good quality piece of kit.
