<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hello Bob,<br>
<br>
I lay up my MGB GT V8 for winter. (I am in Barrie, Ontario) I
put a car cover over it - plain jane not quite to the ground
soft one - but I put one of those weak heater things that fit
into a light socket (with extension cord) under the car. I
think it is something in the area of 10W. This drives off
dampness/mold. The danger is maybe mice will build a little
snug around it - but so far no problems! In the UK I always
used a small heater which burnt forever on a slurp of
paraffin. Have not seen one in NA but then I have not
looked.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Barrie<br>

<div class="">I keep my 1980 MGB LE stored and covered
in my sop from about late September to now. I live
in Rhode island and can’t risk driving it until the
rain has washed away all the salt on the roads. This
year I took it to Bassett’s Jaguar, just down the
road from me as I know Bill Bassett and he has
helped me out in the past. It needed some minor work
which he was going to do. Bill called me later tat
day and said he couldn’t touch the car due to
extensive mold everywhere. Since then I have
embarked on an extensive mold removal effort using
white vinegar and several commercially available
products. Is there something more I should be doing
and is there some way to prevent this from happening
in the future other than leaving the car uncovered?
I am even having it professionally detailed next
week. The detailer promised to thoroughly clean and
demold the car.<br class="">
