James:
good to hear you are alive (and not wet).
Many a year ago (OK, 14) when I was at uni. and driving truck for summer
work, I had my TR4a '65 on the road. There was no top. And no interior.
And no paint. Really, it was a "rolling restoration" - tho it was most
called a rolling wreck.
Anywayyyy, I used a lumber tarp to cover the car while I was on the road.
They're free if you know a guy at the yard - they just cover the lifts when
in transport. Some are a waterproof paper (good once or twice but hard to
fold and soggy when wet) and some are a kindof woven plastic. This worked
best for me: it DID keep what interior there was there, dry. Be warned
though, I had no paint to tell if the cover would scuff - only primer on
some panels.
Happy camping!
