Outside storm cover for an XK8 convertible

[Mon Ami Mate]

Having just turned myself into a two Jag family by buying this for my new wife http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blue1999-Jaguar-XK8-Converti... I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a really good outdoor storm cover for her (the XK8, not the wife!).

I have a fitted cover, rarely used, for a XK8-have a look in classified ads- spares- Jaguar

There is no such thing as a cover that does not get blown by the wind Any dirt and it will scratch the paint. I think it is better to leave your car unprotected.

Agree 100%. A friend bought an XK8 convertible from a chap who kept it outside and frequently used a proper Jaguar cover on it. Trapped dust had left swirls and scratches but even worse, the cover itself had left scratches because the owner had fitted and removed it single-handedly -- and there is no way you can avoid dragging it across the paintwork unless you have a helper.
