At that price, I would suggest it will be sh!t.

While having some building work done, my classic has to live outside for 3 months and I spent approaching £200 on a cover - and even then I was at the bottom range of anything decent.

To me that cover also looks too tight to allow proper airflow. And it is single layer so will 'stick' to the car and or scratch it when the wind blows.

Out of curiosity, why do you want a cover. The GT is waterproof and quite capable of living outside. Unless you must park under a tree, I would say don't bother. Or buy a proper tent.

Gentlemen,
I have had a long conversation with a UK car cover company at the classic car show and they are willing to do a group buy for indoor or outdoor covers.
They do have a range of quality of covers £107 for their 'soft indoor to £320 for the custom made version, but you have to add a measuring fee and cost to add the Emblem. Which makes the Maserati cover an economic option!
Their custom outdoor covers are £450 but a pattern Ultimate Outdoor would be around £225. The ultimate is breathable, waterproof and is secure.
Like I said, they are open to a group deal. I've got no interest as I have a cover and a garage but happy speak to them and see what they would do. Any takers?

I’ve used Specialised for over 10 years (in door and outdoor). If you are looking for a discount then join the UK Lotus forum (SELOC) for free and then you can order a non-Lotus cover using the SELOC discount. You simply send an email asking for a quote noting your SELOC name, might be worth doing a couple of posts before you do. Here’s a good summary on covers;
