Joy, Try and fing some where under cover to keep Matlda. From my experience nothing ages these cars faster than sitting out in the sun and weather without being used. All the plastic, fiberglass and rubber parts seem to deteriorate. The canvas and the inside of the pop top get damp and discolour. Westies like to sleep somewhere dark and dry.
