The 'Specialised' outdoor car cover is the only one worth bothering with. It is totally waterproof (although some condensation can sneak in underneath), it fits the car perfectly and won't come off even in storm force winds. Not cheap at £170 + VAT, but you get what you pay for in my opinion. Do a search over on Seloc - there may still be a discount code active.

I bougtht the Lotus indoor cover in 2001 when I had an S2 elise. I have now got a Exige S but still use the Elise cover. I haven't had any problems with it and I even used it for 12 month under a car porch in Cyprus.

I'm afraid the 'get what you paid for' rule doesn't apply in my case. Becasue my Sports Racer was shiney brand new when I bought it, I thought I'd get the most expensive cover I could find for. And so, £334...yikes...later, I received my Covercraft Weathershield cover. This turned out to be weatherproof, not waterproof, but does appear to be breathable. That means that even if the car is spotless when you put the cover on, it will be covered in water marks etc, if it has rained, when you take it off. Not very good really, especially when you consider the price. Not recommended...shoot
