You may want to consider putting a small amount of charcoal (not the matchlight stuff) in a container on the floor. I store a camper every winter and the storage place sells the stuff. It is supposed to collect any moisture in the interior and prevent mildew

he : Plugs the exhaust with tennis balls (no fart can, so tennis balls(4) are fine)
: Cleans it, polish whole 9 yards.. in and out (keeps the crap from sinking in)
: Puts in an air cleaner(inside the car) again so dust and stink dont sink in over time...
: Rips the trunk(well hood
) appart (carpets) get them steam cleaned... dry and put back.. let the trunk air out, water can get in there... if it sits for long time the mold.
: Fixes any rock chips or niks (so he wont have to **** around next summer when he wants to drive it)
: Removes tires/wheels, and stacks at the wall (jack stands/ good suport)
: Puts a sock in the intake (dust n crap over time)
: Starts the car.. lets it warm up.. idle every 3weeks (remove sock/tennis balls and replace battery)
: puts clean car cover over it, then a new tarp(I dunno why... yes its inside).
Now you mite not have to go this syco... but this guys 94 MR2 only has 30,000kms...
For the convertable... you mite wanna clean all the mechanisms.. regrease.. Now detailing a car in and out is tough.. so Id sujest getting it done by a pro.. its only afew hundred...

mmm, MR2 Turbo... Toyota actually used that motor (3S-GTE) in their world rally applications, whether it was the Celica of the late 80'* up to the mid 90'*, and their Corolla WRC up until they pulled out of WRC in like 1999. A very robust motor, it can take a lot of turbo boost and thrashing about.

That aint me... my uncles a freak... but his car does only have 30,000km...
All I do for my camaro and my 69 c/10 for the winter is put them in my heated garage at 16C. I put the windows down a few inches... oh and fill the tanks (less easy for a full gas tank to explode then a empty one-cuz I do weld and cut in the garage over the winter) Some times I might put them on jack stands...
