Buying my first tvr
Discussion
I second that choice of cover. I started out with a full one, like you would, to keep the whole car clean. But in a storm it flaps all over the paint work, and you cannot help making a little damage getting it on and off.
What you actually need is the Leven half cover, which is heavy, doesn't flap, and just covers the hood and windows. I will post a few photos when I am at my computer so you know what you are looking for. They are only available second hand, but if you ask nicely on PH someone who no longer uses theirs will pass it on to you.

heres some pics but are the ones from the advert as not picked the car up yet.
Nice! 
The hood looks to be folded nice and low as well, I'm intrigued as to whether it is an original hood and, if it has been replaced, the shape of the rear window.

Bought my Leven cover second hand about four years ago, brilliant bit of kit 
Do you not worry about paint damage from being outside? That's my main concern as we get debris from the house roof when heavy rain sets in. That strip of masking tape down the bonnet is covering a lot of it up anyway....

They were originally made and sold by Leven, the people who make the alloy indicator and wiper stalks. I don't believe they are made any more, but people who have them sell them either when they get a garage, or when they sell the car. They are generally around £50 second hand. They are really well made, heavy, and a snug fit, so they don't flap.
my 1995 will be coming up for sale in the next month or so.
Booked into Central TVR next week for rear end respray, chassis rust treatment, waxoyl and nice carbon fibre dash.
Passed MOT last four years I have owned with only a brake light switch and a cold temp sensor needed, no advisories on any of them, last one I got under the car on the lift and had a good poke around, entire chassis was solid.
