Need some advice, where would I get a good quality outdoor cover for my mk11 (1999), I found a place in the UK that have a cover called stormforce £164.50 plus £19.00 for post. Any info would be welcome, thanks.

Was looking at these recently but didn't get very far.
What i do know is that the cover needs to be waterproof, breathable, and you can't put them on a wet car. I had a cheap one that i used to cover my mg with and the paint didn't like it one little bit.

ash is right you are better off with out the cover, just take it for a spin
every couple of weeks or so. Cars don't like to be left sitting.

Was at the classic car show in Bermingham last week and picked up some brochures on covers. Will root them out and post the details tomorrow, if I get a chance
