180 battery replacement and a question too?

Hi folks as i have my mk1 on classic insurance its limited too 3000 miles a year,Which is good as i work long hours for work 50hrs a week maybe more depending with a company car,So sadly my zs hardly gets used but im not selling it just for work commitments,Now the cold weather and winter is here my battery has already gave up the ghost,

So firstly can anyone recommend where is best to try for a new one as the cheapest ive been quoted so far is £60,new is this a good price?.Also it sits under a breathable car cover when its parked up so its protected from the rain quite a bit but im worried will the engine freeze over it not turned over enough? Ive also thrown a really thick wool cover over the engine when im not using it,Will this do the engine any favours or not really make a difference,? The car probs gets used twice a week. Just thought id ask on here as ive had good advice from the members on here before,

cheers folks kev
