Outside car covers

[Stevo302]

Hi guys.
Due to loosing my house shortly and kicking my classic onto the drive. What is the best outside car cover to get? There are allot out there to choose from. I want something decent. All weather kind of thing.
And any other recommendations will be welcome also.
Thanks.

The outdoor covers I looked at a good few years ago were quite heavy weight and I thought would cause rub marks on the paint when blowing in the wind. Also if the damp gets in (and it will) can it get out?

My Vixen is parked in a car port with a light weight breathable cover on. Any rain that blows in or damp then dries reasonably quickly. And the cover doesn't damage paintwork.

What about a canopy tent to park it under with a light weight breathable cover on the car?

I quite like that, until I saw the price. With a side door: £5500 + VAT.

Machine Mart sell garage "tents" that are quite good, would one of those suit your needs?

If room permits a covered trailer might be a consideration.

The benefits being you can use a light cover on the car inside the trailer and you will be able to re sell it on when you no longer need it and probably get most of your money back.

I posted this on the Griff forum.

Picked up assembled in one day with help from a friend.
Additional anchoring points used as its a bit windy where it is bot so far so good.


From Griff Forum;
Have used an outdoor cover for TVR's in the past, but today have just bought from Machine Mart a Clarke Garage/Workshop CIG81015 for £251.98.

I had planned on a four post garage lift but the garage needs 2 x extra courses of bricks and the pitched tiled roof raising. Also as we live in a listed building its not just a straight forward job.

So a quick temp fix has been introduced.
