Struggling to find a good indoor cover for a RHD 73RS - really wanted a proper Porsche one, but apparently they don't make them them anymore - any recommendations appreciated - would really like one with a Porsche crest on it if possible - cheers smile

I use Richbrook's snug fitting indoor covers. Well made, breathable and come in a smart zip-up storage bag.

I'm sure you could get one knocked up on Saville Row given the current value.
Best my car is better than yours for quite a while....

RSVP911. Not knocking you. Why would you want to cover up such a thing of beauty.
I wander into my garage all the time and look at two IMO of Porsche's finest creations. One has its original factory car cover but I will never use it.
If your garage is less than perfect invest in a dehumidifier and a heater.
And yes I run my hands along their curves and talk to both of them. 33 years apart but both beautiful.

Ah, in the interests of full disclosure , little Alfie (came with the name by the way) is not 100% real - he's a beutufull thing ; fully restored inside and out , original 2.7 mfi RS engine, but not on an original RS chassis (but really authentically converted to one - look and feel) . This makes it the best RS in the world IMHO as I can and do drive it whenever I like without having "value" palpitations.

Note to self : must hold back from gratuitous photo posting opportunity ........ be strong , no one here likes that sort of thing......

Hi Mr Hellcat. Ok first things first - photo's of your two strokers please smile

I agree by the way , I'm a habitual stroker of all things myself and do so whenever the opportunity presents itself. However ,my garage is full, I do however have a nice car port too and the RS (ish) (see earlier post) is currently residing there as I have taken it out of storage (MOT time - passed with flying colours - I'm so pleased & proud !) and I really don't want to put him back for the following reasons : looking , stroking , polishing and driving . As such, he's sitting bang in the middle of the very dry but not too cosy car port - I keep walking past him thinking ; he's a really old man and as such, he needs a coat to wrap up warm until the spring - hence the query.

Sorry for the rambling reply smile

THE money shot smile

Glad to see you've attended to the finer details of the car port R, it looked soooo "generic" prior to your finishing touch biggrin

Yes, without losing you and getting overly technical, I definitely think they work better with a roof .

Re the plaque : you wouldn't believe the technical training I had to go through to become authorised - oh the irony smile
