Wanted MK1 car cover - good quality not a cheapie.

Featured Replies

I'm going to be storing my car outside for a year or 2 and will be buying a quality car cover for this time.

I can buy a new fitted one for around £200 - does anyone have a decent 2nd hand one they want to sell?

 

Thanks

Can't help you with the cover but I can advise you, if you've not already done so, to check out all the tips on the sites for car storage and the use of covers on manufacturers sites.

 

I've used covers before with cars outside but not static beyond weeks and a mate has a few on his cars. 

 

I'd definitely go for a cover which has zips with access for front door(s), one that allows 'breathing', well as much as they can and door mirror pockets.  You may need extra straps or even netting if you live in a windy location.

 

Personally I'd prefer a fully fitted (tailored) cover with mirror, and if required aerial, pockets.

 

Heavy covers are a bit cumbersome to get on particular after the car has been washed and polished ready to be covered and it's windy, whereas light covers slide off a polished car and get complete blown off the car if only slightly windy usually always easier to have two people to put the covers on no matter what the suppliers might advertise and the heavy covers get heavier when wet or damp too.
