Hi Guys,

Does anyone own an outdoor car cover for their mini?

Do you know who sells them?


My poor little mini will no longer have a garage so I would at least like it the be under a waterproof cover.

Cheers

Have a look on ebay, because I got a mini one off an ebay trader. It is breathable and only cost £30 I think.

Moss used to do one, but it might have been part of their Wood and Pickett range. If it was then that's who will sell it now.

Wood and Pickett

Also there's a company that advertises in the back of classic car mags who can make custom covers for any car in a few different qualities.

check out the back of any classic car mag, there are millions, if not more, of adverts selling them, pucker breathable outdoor ones are usually between £50-100, depending on whether you have door openings, straps etc.
i'd recommend getting straps if it doesn't come with them, its no fun retreiving your cover from a large tree after the first big blow!
