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!
