Hi all.
I'm after recommendations for a good waterproof / breathable cover for a vantage roadster please (2010). I would like a bespoke item I think as I had one for a chimaera that didn't fit very well.
Usual safe haven for vehicles getting a new roof irked which is going to drag on to the summer.
Thanks in advance folks!!

Mine lives indoors but I've had a couple tailor made for my previous cars by these people, great quality and fit, and when the first one arrived it felt so soft I thought they had sent me an indoor cover by mistake, but it was just the quality of the materials they use.

Worth asking around neighbours / parish magazine to see if there's an empty garage you could rent for a few months, if it's a temporary matter. Would be better for the car's paintwork (no experience myself, but have read that outdoor covers can rub away at the paint in the wind and dull it).

Make sure you thoroghly clean the car before tucking away. Any grit, sand etc will act like sandpaper on the paint, with the cover gently rubbing it into the paintwork as it moves in the wind.
