Can anyone recommend a outside car cover to use for my chimaera...im looking for one that covers the whole car, there seems to be quite a choice out there and prices vary quite a bit.
Thanks

I use a Covercraft Weathershield HP on mine (it lives in a barn with various animals in and out) however I have used it when left outside and it is very effective. A perfect fit too.

hiya, i have two, a hamilton classic and a noah car cover. the noah is a much better fit and has wing mirror pockets and pre fab holes to insert wire to secure it against theft. the hamilton is a poorer fit and has now wing mirror pockets but i think is better quality

I've had Covercraft for the Chimaeras and now the Tuscan. Can't fault them.

For the last 2 years I have been using the Hamilton Classics breathable 5 layer fleece lined outdoor car cover.

I also use the Leven hood cover under it for extra peace of mind but this overkill really as thankfully my chim is 100% watertight.

The nice thing about the Hamilton Classics cover is it's fleece lining, its much kinder on the paint that any other cover I have used in the past.

The best thing though is it's not overpriced, at £150.00 it represents excellent value.

The cover is lasting very well so when I eventually need to replace,, it will be another one of these.

Highly recommended.

+1 for hamilton classic. My Griff has been under one in all weathers and the fleece is quite soft. ALL covers will wear paint eventually but this one is genuinely water proof and breathable.

A mate of mine owns Classic Additions. If you call and ask for Adrian I'm sure he will give some discount!
