Good quality car covers?
« on: 05 February 2008, 15:05 »
Ok, want to get a good quality car cover for the Mk2, somthing that will keep the wet off the body but alow the car to breath and dry off if condensation does build up...anyone had any good experiences with certain covers?

Cheers :)

Found this post in doing a search for info and thought I may as well bump it!

Am also looking for a waterproof car cover....

There are firms that sell them on eBay. You need a monsoon one. THe Mrs has one for the mini and it's excellent. I'll look up the brand tonight. Expect to part with £100+ though.

I found this: http://www.coveryourcar.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=16266&cat=268&page=1

What do people think?

You can have 'storm force' for £30 more which says it has a breathable inner layer.

Hi,
I bought a car cover from www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk about 2 years ago from the Moltex3 range. I was at the Classic Car Show at the NEC & looked at all the ones available & this was the best value for money.
The cover is on the car all year round & lies outside,I had just spent £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ at the bodyshop & have no garage so this was the best option It's semi tailored & soft fleece inside/fully breathable.

Hope this helps :undecided:
