Hi, I have a fitted outdoor cover for my Tamora from Specialised Car Covers http://www.carcoversuk.com They cover a wide range of TVR models and they come in various colours. I think you can even get the TVR logo on the front. They are waterproof and breathable and have a soft lining that wont scatch. A really good product.
Hope this helps.

I have a car cover (weathershield) for the Sagaris but I had to cut 4 eyelets (rubber surround) at each wheel so I could tie it down - the Irish weather can remove a cover in about 3 minutes. It stays on perfectly through all weathers but you might set off the alarm (depending on its sensitivity)
Also if you buy an outdoor cover never put it on when the car is dirty, it will collect on the inside and act as sandpaper when blown onto the paintwork. Its a pain but pulling the cover off to reveal a shiny clean TVR is worth the hassle of cleaning it

Yep - agreed re the dirt - if unduly filthy, I will briefly wash it down. The challenge with the Weathershield (which has otherwise been superb) has been its moderately loose fit (esp after 4 yrs of ownership) which causes it to blow quite a lot when windy; it will come off the smooth front/back of the car in winds generally over 30 mph which is not great on a car which is prone to leaking if it is also raining heavily!!
I got a 'stormforce' version of Cover-zones outdoor cover for my Tam. Fits well, breathable, pockets for the mirrors and hold down straps, they even put a lable in it so you know which end goes on the front.
Covers do tend to send the alarm mental in the windy weather as they still flap about even when secured.

The cover was pretty water tight for the first few months but has recently begun letting water onto the car under heavy rain (i.e. water in the Sag's vents) but I have found no signs that the cover has got any problems.. Mine is pretty "skin tight" to the car, given its been used for a year now. Just make sure any eyelets are very strong, you`ll be surprised what force the wind can place on them!
It keeps eyes off and thats the main reason I bought it (still looks fantastic when it hugs the car lol)..

I bought a fitted car cover a while ago, cost a few hundred quid, to be honest I feel the fitted cover cover is nice but a little overkill for the money. I would personally buy a decent universal car cover next time, I'm sure the end result is the same however, you wont get the nice TVR logo welcoming you into the garage!
