Actually it was under a car cover on the drive for the first 2 years as we had so much stuff that we couldn't use the garage for cars!
I tend to use ebay to off load my old junk, and as my mum works in a shop I get quite a lot of boxes gifted to me: handy for posting various items! Apart from a couple of chair cushions, all that was on top of the car was empty boxes, I assure it looked worse than it was!
I see you spotted the wires hanging from under the dash... when I got the car it had the remnants of a stereo in it, i.e a few extra wires and a couple of seriously naff speakers. I wasn't brave enough to tackle the electrics when I first got it, but one of the things it will get before running again is a new loom!
