I need a car cover for my new old MX5 MK1, any suggestions?

I’ve recently got a NA and it will have to stay outside, at least for now. I’m looking for a cover to protect it from the Scottish rain. Any recommendations? I’d like to get something under £100

Hi - Take a look at these http://www.cover-zone.com/stormforce-car-covers.htm Not the cheapest but I have been using one for the last 4 years and they certainly protect the car from the elements. In very high winds I take the precaution of having an extra strap in place front and rear.

I have a cover from these guys…

I’m afraid it’s way over your budget (c £300) but I can highly recommend them. It comes complete with 4 straps along the length of the cover that secures it nicely in place in case of high winds (which we get a lot of on the coast line). Plus it is breathable, which to my mind is very important. They are tailor made for the specific car. I’ve had mine 4 years and it’s doing a fine job.

MX5 Parts seem to have a range within your budget that may be of interest to you…

I brought a cheap one from Aldi which works well to protect the roof and drains etc, does not cover all of the bonnet, but I don’t mind that. It’s not a perfect fit, but at a tenner, a bargain and it does what I brought it for. 

I read many for and against arguments for covers (paint blisters, scratching etc) but so far, so good - fingers crossed…
