OK, I'm after a rain cover for my Sag (not that it's being kept outside, but I like to be prepared).
Cover Zone are still looking for a Sag to make their cover, but the Cebera one fits fine. They are the cheapest option.
The cover company make them, but they are pricey...
Does anyone know of any others?
Cheers!

I also got a covercraft from racing green for the Sagaris.
Unfortunately it does not keep the water off the car as expected, with the storms and heavy rain the car will get damp but it prevents the worst (dirt, dust, etc.) from getting at her.
I did have to cut four holes around the wheels (reinforced with nylon rings) so I could tie it down - one windy day and the cover will be on some other car a few meters away..

The only trouble with a car cover used on a car kept outdoors is that unless the car is perfectly clean and dry when you put it on, the cover will use the dirt and moisture on the car to form a nice cutting compound akin to "wet 'n' dry" sandpaper and scratch the paintwork in windy weather, as the wind makes the cover move around.
Having said that, I need to come up with a solution as the weather closes in as my Sag is currently kept outside in all weathers and some metal components in the engine bay are starting to show signs of rust and corrosion.

Car covers cause nothing but problems. They cause scratching and moisture containment that can lead to micro blistering.Having said that, I need to come up with a solution as the weather closes in as my Sag is currently kept outside in all weathers and some metal components in the engine bay are starting to show signs of rust and corrosion.
Good wax and WD40 are as good as anything (hard work in the Spring to get your P&J all nice again underbonnet, but not too difficult a task.

Your better of buy a good indoor cover (I've got a hamilton) to use all the time when in the garage and getting a cheap outdoor one from argos and use both when outside.
So why did you ask me those questions by email about my cover that's for sale then? Why waste my time if you already know that the cheap one from Argos is better? You did the same when I sold my car....

Sorry you feel that way I thought it better not to waste your time and come to view it knowing I was not going to be serious about it.
From the phone conversations we had I thought you where a nice chap?? perhaps your having a bad day and feel the need to take it out on somebody, I used to this at work so if it makes you feel better carry on.
