Indoor Car Cover

[rct]

Apologies if this repeats any previous threads in this forum, but I'm looking for a soft indoor car cover to protect my TVR from dust in the garage. Do I need to invest in a tailored cover, or is there material on the market I can buy which will cover the whole car ? Thanks!

I've just got a tailored cover for my Tuscan from Specialised Car Covers (as per ad in Evo). It's TVR purple, big TVR logo on the bonnet, pockets for wing mirrors and has ties to go under the car for a very snug fit. Elasticated front and back and fits perfectly. Made from siliconised Sateen which is breathable. Cover is only intended for indoor use as a dust cover.

Cost £180 ince delivery, made to order takes 2 weeks to arrive. Tel: [phone].

I bought one for my Griff from the Leven stand at Duxford. Cost was 60 pounds. Delivery was free as I lifted it off the counter myself.

It has it's own packing bag, door zips and is fully fitted.

Keeps all the dusty gubbins that falls out of my wooden garage roof off the car nicely.

I got one from Classic Additions (advertised in Sprint) a few weeks ago, about £85 inc. delivery, nice breathable cotton material and handy door zips, but my gripes would be that its a bit on the big side (a generic size not very well fitted to the Chim) and worse that the brushed 'fleecy' inside leaves little lint hairs all over the roof fabric. They have clearly noted this and supply a lint free roof cover that you are supposed to fit before you put the main cover on but it is virtually impossible to position properly while you drag the cover around. I ended up sewing it to the inside in the appropriate position, but I still get lint on the roof. You'd be better off getting one with a non-brushed inner surface in my opinion.
