Car cover

Hello all, thanks for allowing me into the forum.

I am about to collect my first Bentley - a 2005 Continental GT! I don't have a garage and would like to buy a car cover and would like to know if anyone here in the UK has any experience with this firm at all?

Or if indeed you have any better suggestions from experience?

Many thanks in advance

Nige

To echo Johnny's post. Welcome to our forum.
As to car covers, I always worry that outside water resistant covers eventually chaff the paintwork and any unseen dirt just gets held between the body and cover.
I go to France and Germany a lot with my gt and I would like a cover to put on overnight at hotels to keep prying eyes off the car and help protect against philistines damaging the side of the car with their doors when parked. But as above, I feel it will be a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water.
To be fair I do keep the car in a secure and dry barn/garage so I don't worry about the uk weather.

I have been looking at eBay.co.uk/itm/165840846540 and various, there is one called stormforce that seems good

Was going to buy the genuine cover but it seems to be very little for £500+

I wish i had a garage to keep car in at my house, not too sure about a cover, depends how often it is used suppose, as per other comments think just cause trouble but want to be able to cover for various reasons.

Regards James

Thanks for the welcome guys! Still not decided whether the cover would make her a target tbh, going to make sure the drains are clear tomorrow and chance it for a while.
