I've always kept my car covered, both in the summer and winter. In the summer it's so hot that you have to keep it covered to protect it from the sun and to keep the dust off it. In winter I use two covers, one regular car cover, strapped down to stop the wind blowing it off. It very often gets very windy where I live in the winter. The inner cover is a 4x5 meter polythene sheet, which does a great job of keeping the rain out. Last year we had a couple of weeks when it literally didn't stop raining, including one incredible day when we had about 200mm of rain, and the car stayed dry. However, even in midwinter over here we get quite a few sunny days, and whenever I get the chance I take the covers off to let it bask in the sun. I try to do this at least once a week. I doubt if you can do this in the UK. I also find that windy, dry weather will dry everything out quite quickly, even when the polythene cover is on.
