Personally speaking, I would only put a cover on a car if it was under a tree or a birds next. I'd rather it be exposed to the elements that have the moisture kept into it. Just my opinion.
I seem to recall someone selling a cover on here or on MF recently. Might be worth a search.

dont use an outdoor car cover. The best solution I have seen is Dan, who bought a tent and put it in his garden and keeps his car in it. You might laugh, but its not as stupid as it sounds. Its never a good idea to have anything in contact with the paintwork, especially when you introduce moisture.
If the tent is a no go, I would just wax it regularly and leave it without a cover.

Thanks for the replies.
I had not thought that a cover would trap moisture in.
However these covers appear to have a "Unique Breathable 4 layer fabric to allow moisture & damp to escape."

Not cheap though !
My main reason for finding a suitable cover was more to hide the car from prying eyes than protection from the elements !

I inherited an outdoor cover from a previous owner. It is a 'Noah' breathable fabric one by Covercraft allegedly costing £350 when new. It is in clean condition and surplus to my requirements. PM me if you [or anyone else] want to make a reasonable offer.

Put a car under a cover and people will start to notice it.
leave it out in the open,get 2 old MG badges from an MGF and with a bit of Bluetack,stick one on the front over the trident and one over the rear and ..hey presto! you have a car "Incognito" and i can guarantee no one will bother to give it a second glance.
As they say "hide in plain sight"
