Best car cover for TVR S 1

[bigtalljim]

Going to put my TVR into my new car port from now on as garage is miles away and tinkering her is a pain as got to drive to and from with tools etc.
Car port is closed in on 3 sides and is pretty much weather proof.
To finish off the protection I am thinking about getting a car cover to keep the elements off that may sneak in.
Can you guys and girls advise as to which cover is best for fit and finish and offers the best protection.
Price not a problem as would like a breathable and element proof cover that is a nice fit.

cheers

Hi Jim theres been a thread on this recently. I bought an "Outdoor" cover from Argos for £25.00 (reportedly down to £20 at the minute) and although I would have doubts about it outdoors I find it a good fit and very good value for money.
Others agree but some prefer to pay a lot more for a "fitted" cover...

you pays your money and you takes your chances eh ?

here you go...

My S stands outside in the wind and rain and I use a voyager from http://www.cover-zone.co.uk/index.php. Cost about £70 but it's fitted with mirror pockets, storm straps and fits the S and the Griff.

My S2 stand outside. I currently use a Tybond car cover from ebay for £40, fits well, but no securing straps so I use two 1" wide webbing straps around the car behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels to secure it.

Previously I had a similar Tybond car cover from Classic Additons (£100). Identical to the ebay one, but it had one strap under the car to secure it. The cover lasted about 3 years before it needed replacing.

These are waterproof with air vents. Work well, but need securing in a gale or they will be off down the road !

I purchased an Auto-Pyjama storm cover last March and the S3 has been outside and covered up since then. But in July the cover started to come apart at the seams and basically started to 'dissolve' when touched.

I have replaced it with a Moltex cover from Hamilton Classic (http://www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk/ProductInformation/CarCoversOutdoorMoltex.htm) which seems to be doing the job so far.
