I wondered if anyone could offer some advice on storing a 1999 Mercedes Clk 230 Komp Elegence Coupe Auto.

The vehicle will be in an industrial unit so space is not an issue but I wondered about covers, battery chargers and brakes.

Please post your tips as the car will be off the road for around 2-3 Years.

thanks in advance.

There have been similar threads before, so try a few searches.

For that length of time I'd probably have it on axle stands with a breathable dust cover on it and the battery removed. Parking brake off.
 
I would put it on blocks, tyres off the ground, You could think of a cover that breaths so that any rising damp does not stay under the cover and passes through it, a trickle charger on a time switch or one of the special ones the name escapes me
 
I would sell it, and buy a new car in 2-3 years! Money in savings schemes generally goes up, cars generally go down in value...
