Just to point out, Tallhair, I'm pretty sure in the 32 years you've owned your RR you didn't leave it to rot. You may not have done the work to it, but not restoring it or making it beautiful is one thing. Letting it rot by never running it, covering it, dealing with it in any way is something else. Yes, I have a personal history with this sort of thing, so it really gets under my skin.
IMHO it doesn't take much to keep a car basically protected from going straight to hell. Cover it. Start it, drive it, check fluids once in a while. Repeat. OK, if it doesn't run, at least cover it. Pet it and sing it a little song once in a while, too.
As I said earlier, it bugs me to no end to see a classic car needlessly rotting. I don't care what the owner's reasoning is. There's a 68 Coronet on a road I walk by daily, the car cover has blown off and has sat crumpled next to the car for months. I've left notes of interest. Next time I walk by, I'm going to knock on the door, and I'm going to try the Bruzilla method so I can save it before it's gone.
