I need a good Outdoor car cover for a Mk1 MX5, it'll be sitting for a few months from September and I don't have a garage.

There's a few on eBay for around £30 but others at £100+

Any to avoid?

Avoid the cheap ebay ones!

Most of the cheaper ones I've ever seen wouldn't stay put in strong winds. What some people do is put a thin, soft one underneath a heavier cover, to stop the paint getting scratched.

Have a look in Practical Classics, they always carry ads for car covers, I think a good one will set you back at least £100 tho.
