Matthew Willoughby Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I need an outdoor cover for my 7 so that I can keep it outside my house when the weather improves rather than in a garage several miles away. The cover must be waterproof and breathable and in good condition with a strap underneath the car. Anybody built a garage and no longer requires a cover?

MiniVentura Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Just received my new car from caterham 😬 Do not have a garage its on the driveway all the time. I purchased an outdoor cover through caterham for £200. It's waterproof and is also breathable with a strap that goes underneath and locks.Its a perfect fit!

masha Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I have a Covercraft breathable soft fabric outdoor with lock in grey breathable fabric. Tiny burn where contacted with the exchust once, but otherwise practically like new, offers (baring in mind a) its 2nd hand but good condition, b) they are £200 in the shops, c) its surplus to requirements my end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Coversystems covers are good (plenty of recs in BC if you search) - and come in at under 100 quid new... here I've started using the corner loops with extra straps - and it stayed on fine in the recent high-winds (I've had it partially peel off previously with just the underbody strap in place...) Keep BC free and open for ALL. Membership No. 43xx Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masha Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I stand corrected (sorry I bought cover systems cover ex-demo 2 years ago for £125), and it was supposed to be knocked-down from £200 - that's showroom prices for you. I may as well hang onto it if I can't return more than £75, so I would recommend buying new if they can be got for under £100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Willoughby Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Thanks all. I think I'll get a new cover systems one then (thanks for the offer Masha) unless anybody has a good condition one that they don't use any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masha Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 A new one should last you well, if you pack it carefully it easily goes in the boot of a 7 too so you can carry it around with you (pack a medium size bungee too, to pinch it together so it stays on). Jill Judd in West Sussex does a nice range of taylored covers too, in waterproof or indoor type. I'm thinking of getting her to do me an orange indoor taylored one to fit my R500 on aeroscreen in the garage, and tillet seats, should look nice.

Matthew Willoughby Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 New Cover Systems cover arrived today. It's a perfect fit, nice and tight, so it shouldn't come off especially as it has a strap underneath as well. Only cost £80 from Redline in Caterham It looks like the cats in the neighbourhood have found a new favourite hidey-hole though 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
