Car Cover On A Trailer?

[Dave 152bhp]

We're moving home shortly and have to transport my Caterham and her Morris Minor on trailers. I'm inclined to cover the cars during transit (having washed them first), but what do you think? The removal men are transporting them and they could be parked up overnight somewhere.

I wouldn't bother. By all means put the hood or a tonneau on if you've got them, but I find that covers which go over more than just the cockpit rub on the paintwork when in transit and cause more issues than a bit of water.

Softbits for Sevens cut their storm cover (one with a long nose) to the exact specification (cage and body) of your car, so, they fit perfectly and have protective rubbers for corners etc.

I'm towing from here to Belgium tomorrow morning and confident the cover will not move.

The lead time may be a challenge.

How far are you moving? Same-day not practical? Covered car transporter?

But yeah, I probably wouldnt. There is some risk of stone chips from the tow car I guess, but otherwise just wash them after the move not before it.
