I am interested in buying a used or new hood cover of good quality for my Chimaera.
I believe Leven made good ones but they are no longer available. Grateful for any pointer.

These are good from Halfords . Grab one quick because mine cost double that ,the matarial is soft underneath so no chance of scratching the paint work .

Mine is a large but medium would of been better

Thanks much but I obviously didn't describe clearly enough what I am looking for.
So, I am looking for a car cover that only covers the convertible hood and not the entire vehicle.

Just a word re the Elmwood link - all the prices are stated including 17.5% VAT, which makes them several years out of date. Leven products are sold by PPC of Melton Mowbray these days. They are also a TVR service centre.

I have one of these http://www.classicadditions.com/waterproof-half.ht...

They do the job, although they're not made specifically for the chim so the fit isn't perfect. Also, I spray it with fabsil to give it a new coating every year.

I had a Classic Additions cover on my Boxster last year.

On both the first one and the second repaired one they replaced it with, the stitching on the mirror pockets and on some of the seams came apart. That said, the customer service was good and they even paid for the postage for a full refund because I wasn't happy.
