Car Covers

What choices do I have with car covers for a 7?

I bought my cover 2 years ago from AJUSA. It is made by Covercraft and is said to be good for indoor and outdoor storage, but I haven't tried it outside so can't comment on how well it holds up to rain. It seems to let a fair amount of dust through but has saved me a few times from dinging the paint with a bike or lawnmower. The fit is a little sloppy for supposedly being a custom fit for a 7 but not terrible. Checked the AJUSA site and price is around $162 with free shipping.

I also have the Covercraft. The pattern (#54) is available in several different fabrics depending on your needs. Here are a couple of photos of it in place on my Westfield to give an idea of fit. The Westfield is a little bigger than a classic Caterham, but I believe it is a bit smaller than the SV.

I picked up a very nice Wolf brand cover, that was made for a Mazda Miata, off of the local Craig's list.

The fit isn't great, but the $20.00 price was!

I only use it to keep the dust and dirt off the car when it's in the garage.

We got ours as well to fit a miata.

but be careful with the new non-cotton synthetic styles.. they will melt right to your exhaust in a moment

dont ask Mary how she knows this.:rolleyes:

((johnch your garage is way too clean...wow you need a cover?))

My very expensive cover direct from Caterham fits the rear of my stock caterham perfectly, but is about a foot too narrow at the front; go figure...

(no its not an SV)

I got mine from California Car Cover - they have one that fits a Super Seven. Fits my Stalker well, and they have the usual choice of materials.

Is it a classic with the wide track front suspension? If so, you probably got a cover for the standard width suspension.

nope, just the basic version;
even if it was wider, the contours around the headlights would still result in a disappointing fit.
