Re: indoor car covers

James

Car Cover (or Cover Car ..) in Vareze Italy.(check trough google)
Top in class covers (they also make covers for F1).
Not the cheapest but a real sock.
They ship from Italy o your place.
I have one for the last 3 years and immaculate.

Re: indoor car covers

I am going to use Car Covers - waterproof car covers - breathable car covers - indoor car covers - launch car covers they have the patterns for the cars & all you need to do is send them picture so they can make sure the mirror pockets are in the right place.

Re: indoor car covers

best price I have found is here - I couldnt believe the price - £26!!! - and fine for indoor or light outdoor use. The GT40 is the medium size.

Re: indoor car covers

HI Richard.

One word of advice......there are car covers and there are car covers......and you do tend to get what you pay for.

I run a classic and sports car storage business, and I have tried a fair range of covers from the cheap to the ridiculously expensive! The ones I now offer as standard for customers car are supertex covers supplied from Italy. They cost around £70, but are the best I have found for protecting the car and have a very soft liner. I have these on Ferarris, Bentleys and a host of other very expensive cars and they have always done the job perfectly. Some cheaper ones I have bought in the past have had the linings de-laminte over time, and have become a bit abrasive on the paint, or seem to build up static and attract all sorts of dust and crap.

Hope this helps......just my experience...........

Re: indoor car covers

I havent tried the above - so cannot make a valid judgement - my last cover was from here - but I used it to transport to LeMans and it was shredded by the time I got there. That was my fault though, because it wasnt a transport cover, and that cost £103.
