Puma all weather cover

[Cubatoo]

Hi All, husband's 60's Ford Consul Classic has trumped the Puma's place in the garage so now looking for good quality all weather car cover to keep my Puma warm.
Any recommendations please?

I'm sure there are some good covers, but my experience with various ones has not been good.
Can someone recommend one that lasts longer than a couple of months ?

Following this one. I am also looking for a well fitting cover to protect ours but only found a bunch of shady websites so far.

I was surprised by how thick the one I got was, the tailoring of it, that it is softly lined, all that for under £50

Hi. I'd advise not getting one. I used one for my 1964 Ford Mustang and to my horror after a couple of months started to micro blister under the cover! I'd recommend getting it regularly washed and give it a decent polish prior to resting up. My existing Puma nd Kuga don't seem to mind the winter!!

I keep my Red Puma outside, uncovered, try to use it at least once a week, but it has had a really thorough wax polish, which definitely helps to protect the body.

Sadly the windows leak (though hoping to find time to take a credit card to the window rubbers) and she needs some welding to make the body more waterproof at the moment. Hopefully can make this a new year project. In the meantime, need to keep the rain out!

On two occasions I have purchased a top of the range car cover and I do mean top of the range for my Puma's. Save your money. In high winds the cover marked the car. I had to polish out the marks. I sold them on. I personally would never cover one of my cars again. I think it is better as in the open as it ventilated.

Thanks Richard. I am now wondering if some sort of tent cover might be better though possibly more expensive.

When i had my classic Mini a few years back, I used one of these,

It kept the car dry, but the covers were damaged/torn by the wind and only lasted 2 winters at most. It had to be bolted to the ground. They didn't do a larger one, but I believe they are available elsewhere that are big enough for a Puma.
Alternatively there are these, Garages, Sheds, Portable Instant Garages and other outdoor structures. - Machine Mart

Can you rent a garage or covered parking space locally?
These cars need to be kept in the dry otherwise they will deteriorate quite quickly.

Thank you John yes I was thinking of something like that!

I was also going down the route of a tent style cover but could not find one.

Annoyingly, just measured the Puma and it is 13ft long

I got a new cover for Christmas. My missus got it from eBay. I’ve just put it on and it fits quite well. It has 4 tie straps to tie to the wheels and a buckle strap to go underneath the car.
It cost £38.99.

Hi.
I hope it protects better than my 4 layer which cost £160. Time will tell. It should be okay if it does not get to windy.
