lol...you are all barkin mad...lol...seems I fit in well
I think I would be inclined to go with the CCTV option on the driveway...Ideally I would go with a garage but would be well out of sight if I got one, which is even more worrying me thinks. Only trouble would still be the increased speed of deterioration...life is never simple is it?
Never mind...guess I will keep contemplating
Thanks for the suggestions all

Im in Ireland and have an 83 since 2013. Here are my thoughts on outside storage...
I had mine kept on my driveway for two years. Paid a lot of money for a fitted cover which now lets rain in. Ive gone through two covers which i have found not to be at all waterproof.
After some heavy rain last year took the cover off to find MOULD on the steering wheel and soaked headliners
I retrimmed the material after some research on the net and also found the famous gap at top middle of windscreen. Got this resealed at local garage.
Nowadays i keep the car in a lockup shed nearby where i can come and go. Some difference if you can manage it. A dry car is a clean car imo.
My D is currently on my driveway for the summer and is currently being rained on heavily. But it seems dry inside at the moment.
As regards attention i found the dull rainbashed cover kept people away. You do get kids knocking at the door asking to be taken back to the future but it seems good natured.
However i did one day wake up to find a broken egg on the cover! Imagine that...pure begrudgery...
