Re: How do you maintain a classic/hardly driven, stored car?

My dad and I have multiple cars in storage, what I tend to do is just start them up every month or two, let them have a good run so I know they're up to temperature and they have oil circulating around the engine, keeping everything lubricated for the next start up, then if possible take them for a drive so the gearbox and diff have oil moving around them so nothing can seize up and so any seals don't wear prematurely. If the car has a/c I sometimes give that a blast to keep it working. Basically just use all the features of the car so that they don't just sit there and age and die.
