Moisture likes to condense on the understide of tarps that have limited
air flow. I think you are better off allowing free air flow around and
inside the vehicle. I don't live in a place where I need to store my TR
for the winter but if I did I would put a fresh coat of wax over the
vehicle, including the chrome, set it up on jack stands in the dryest
place I could store it. I would open the boot, spare tyre compartment,
bonnet and windows part way to allow air flow. I would sooner give it a
good dusting later than deal with condensation caused rust.
Another alternative is one of those enviornmental bags & a lot of
dessicant.
When my TR is waiting out long back to back storms I'll go out every
couple of days, fire it up and let it high idle for an hour or so to
evaporate any moisture then let it cool down with the bonnet & interior
open.
