 I have just bought this cover to replace the 1 year old Mini Spares waterproof cover that doesn't seem to be working quite as well as it used to.

 

 I have a garage, but it's full of other stuff and I couldn't easily get the Mini in/out, so I prefer to have it on the driveway. I noticed this contraption and that someone was using one for a classic mini. I gambled in hoping the CE would fit, and although the cover touches the rear lights/gutter and the edge of the bonnet, it actually just about fits.

 

 It was only £200 and you can buy replacement covers for £95. It will certainly do for now. Hopefully this helps someone who's struggling to find a decent cover. By the way, you need to secure the cover to the ground, it's not movable once installed.

Thanks for sharing and that`s a real nice clubby estate you have there :)

There will be condensation on the metal roof bars which will then drip over your car. I used 22mm split pipe insulation to cover the bars and that stopped the condensation and kept the car dry. I bolted mine to my concrete drive but fitted 1 inch wooden spacers under the bottom bars to increase the ventilation. My coverings would last about 2 years before the UV killed the pvc material. As you say, new covers are available.

 Good advice, I will do that. I already have a gap at the front/side flaps to allow air movement, hopefully it will be good enough.
