Indoor or outdoor? I can get OEM covers if you're interested in going that route. Their indoor covers are under $500. Their outdoor ones are a little over $500. Here's what the indoor cover looks like:

I like that black much more than my light grey OEM one, but the black would show dust a lot more. Especially with the Pollen season going on in the States right now.

True, but it keeps the pollen off the car and that's what's important!

For indoor storage I have always used California Car Cover's cotton/flannel lined custom covers.
Great for coupes but leaves much nap on canvass convertible tops

I don't know about the Black showing pollen, and all that. My car in under cover for the most part when I'm not driving it. This goes for summer and spring too. I have yet to see pollen issue that you refer to.

Classic Additions makes the AM covers. They won't sell the official licensed design which is pictured above direct to consumer. Only available thru AM channels.

Slightly different covers available at their website and they ship direct from England to your door thru DHL.
Www.classicadditions.com

They do manufacture a wonderful product. I had one made for my 993 and it matches the AM cover. The piping color on the stock black AM cover is shiny silver. Logos are embroidered and can be done to match the piping or in the logo's correct official multi color. Machine wash and dry.

I purchased from Classic Additions. Amazing fit and quality. You can pick your colors and several other options. Slightly less than OEM.

I have long been a fan of CoverKing.
I have one for my '11 V8VS, and it took a few times for them to get it right, as they didn't have a laser template available since the V8VS is pretty rare compared to the regular V8 and the V12. But they nailed it.

As it happens, I have a pair of pre 2009 V8 Vantage covers, Stormproof version, available if anyone is interested PM me. Black. One of them has an Aston Martin logo badge on the front and back where the badges are (hood and trunk). It's a great look. Badges are silver/green/ black like the one's on the car itself.

What car? Definitely stick with the genuine Aston Martin covers. They fit like no other cover I've ever owned and look flat out sexy on the car. You'll love it. You can get into a very slightly used one for well under $400. I could turn you on to some sources if you're interested.. Shoot me a message.

None of them that I've found come with the 06-08 antenna pocket. They either send you a pocket that you can sew on or you can mark up the cover and send it back to have the pocket added.

Covercraft makes a Vantage cover with the antenna pocket already in place. Their Formfit indoor cover is very similar to the OEM, and their outdoor Noah cover also fits perfectly and really handles all weather conditions. You can custom the pocket for the regular whip antenna or the short stub antenna that most 06-08 owners prefer.
