Anyone have any ideas where a good outdoor car cover for an '87 Austin Mini could be acquired?
I have seen the one on Minispares for about £80.. looks good but just wondered if anyone here has got one that scratched the hell out of their paintwork or something. That is possibly an exaggeration but you've got to be sure about these things!

Any other recommendations much appreciated thumbup but £80 is the ballpark figure.. preferably not much more over that.

Thanks,
Dave.

You need to make sure whichever one you buy is breathable.

Otherwise moisture gets in and gets trapped which turns out to be a nightmare.

I bought mine from minispares, so probably the same one, cant remember the make. Havent noticed any scratching due to the cover and thats on a fresh paint job. Fit is pretty good. I have heard that moisture can be a problem.

Cheers
Just seen one on eBay.. breathable.
In my impatience I overlooked the fact that the minispares one is not, so I might go for the one on eBay.

The listing is directly lifted from here:

Any experience of these please give me a shout thumbup
Dave.
