    Best outdoor cover for cobra?

    Loosing my garage at the end of the month and 65's going to have to brave the elements in a fairly open car port type affair (albeit fenced off away from prying eyes).

    So, recommendations for decent car covers gratefully received to protect him til I boot him out this summer after Le Mans.

    I've been using the Hamilton classic outdoor cover for about a year, really good quality and fits the Dax perfectly

    I would definitely suggest getting one with a Fleece type inner and there's 2 straps on this one to keep it from blowing off.:thumb:

    Hi Lee,
    I went for Size SL (AC Cobra) and it fits perfectly, Even fits with an Hardtop fitted..

    Havnt had any problems with paint bubbling or condensation, I polished it a month or so ago and romoved it yesterday to find it still gleaming (even after the snow and rain!)..

    well worth the money i'd say

    Regards
    Rich

    Smash,
    Just remember to let the side pipe cool down (if you have them) otherwise the cover tends to melt and make a bit of a mess.
