S1/S2 Car cover

PostPost by: EnfoKen » Tue Feb 18, 2014 5:31 am

Hi
I'm looking for a light weight , indoor type car cover for an S2.
Has anyone in the USA purchased one locally with success?
If so, from what source?

I've looked at the car cover websites but just wonder how well they fit even though
you can actually select "65" Elan.

Thanks

Ken,

I know of someone in Reno who has one for his S2 that he bought about 2 years ago. He bought it from a company back east, and it fits very good. I'll get in touch with him and find out where he got it. Do you want it so it fits over the soft top? If I remember he had it modified to fit without a top but to fit over his roll bar.

I'd prefer a size 8 woman in a size 6 dress...

But seriously I was about to suggest the same thing...

My car sits under the cover from my old Porsche 968, more like a size 12 dress, but still protects the car!

Ken,

Heard from the Elan owner in Reno. He will send me the info as soon as he finds it, which may be a day or 2, He will also send a picture of the cover on the Elan. He recalls it wasn't very expensive but is having a difficult time finding the invoice. Knowing him he'll find it.

Ken, I;m pretty happy with this cover from, FormFit by CoverCraft. I got it a year ago for just over $200. (can remember wher from) Soft streach fabric material. They offered all sorts of color combinations and mirror pockets etc.

Good Luck
James

James, why didn't you get the mirror pockets? Your mirrors look like they're going to punch through.

I didnt know what mirrors i was going to fit, of where they were going to be placed when I bought the cover.

I could alway have them tailor fitted.
