Hi,

I have recently inherited a Jaguar MKII that is in quite good condition. Until our house is finished building I need to park it outdoors. Could anyone out there pls. recommend a good outdoor car cover?
Thanks

Hi, Do you expect to need the cover long term? If so, you need a good quality one that breathes and doesn't mark the paintwork.
This is the one I bought for my Sprite, not cheap, but an excellent product that seems very durable:

Get an outdoor bubble if you can afford it?

Cheers

Carcoon are one of the best but also most expensive

In all the years I have been buying covers for my treasures I have only one thing to say
You gets what you pays for, look for the best you can afford not the cheapest deal. I mean that in the nicest manner but I have purchased some rubbish, mainly because anyone can buy rubbish material and make a shape out of it

I've got a couple of Carcoons, indoor and outdoor versions. Both perform well and do the job - I don't have experience of the others but am told these are the best. However, I've had a couple of problems - zips (eventually wear out - Carcoon will repair them at a cost) and the inner lining of the outdoor version can rip easily, which doesn't affect performance particularly but means it won't deflate quickly when you open it up. Hope this helps.
