I had good luck with a quanset hut/greenhouse style cover I made for my
dad's MG TD (couldn't stand to see the poor thing sit under a tree for
another year).
I made a rectrangular, slightly-bigger-than-car-size wooden frame, and made
semicircular bows of 1" PVC pipe at 2' intervals, which I covered with
plastic sheeting, held down with wire to keep it from billowing. It also
has a PVC ridge pole connected between the bows with X fittings (tees at
the ends).
For a Land Rover you might need some vertical sections under the bows.
For more hints look at the library (or perhaps on the internet) for plans
for cheap home-made greenhouses.
My total cost including the plastic sheeting was under $40, but I didn't
put in a door.
