Protecting the stag from salt in the air?

[Markvsandford]

Hi All.

Finally getting my dads old stag over to Denmark. After a lot of buggering about with tax/insurance and the fact that there is a rover v8 in it (ie it's not original), It is arriving the 1st September.

My question is this. I live on a small island, so concerned about salt in the air. Is it something to be concerned about? It is more the salt on the roads and condensation that is an issue? A friend suggested a carcoon to filter remove any condensation and salt out - or the one Hamilton classic sell (which actually looks more useful). I have read threads on here saying to just use the car over the winter as much as possible.

The car will be stored in a carport, which has a timber door. It's not air tight by any means and there is a pretty good flow of air around it (it's nearly always windy here)

I am really just looking for some advice as to the best way to enjoy the car, and to prolong its life.

Thanks

Mark

I had a permabag years ago when the only storage was a concrete prefab garage that suffered with condensation.
Worked very well and they do an outdoor version now I believe.
Not really drive in/drive out though, more for over winter type storage.
Being fully sealed, Stag went in dry and polished, and came out the same many months later.
Found that the humidity in the bag was stable not requiring the desiccant cylinders refreshing over the storage period.

Just got my 1959 Bonny out of a Bike Bag after 2 years in storage. Looks as good as the day it went in and started on the 4th kick. After putting some petrol in obviously😄
