There is a company that goes by the name "WOLF" that makes custom covers for
the TR6. (Extension 'bags' for the side mirrors)! I bought one from them about
7 years ago and it fits nice and tight. I don't have the paperwork anymore, but
recall the price was around $150. Lots of others to choose from. There web site
is:

Thanks for your observations, Kendall. I understand what you mean about
moisture soaking through covers. The moisture is not my concern so much as
grit, sun fading, bugs, birds, etc. Actually winter is least damaging in
respect to those factors. Snow and ice are no problem if allowed to melt
without scraping off, so I would probably leave the cover off during Dec, Jan,
and Feb.

Hi Jim,
I have a cover from carcoversdirect.com and I'm happy with the fit. I don't
think any of the covers are really 4 seasons. In my experience even the more
expensive covers will soak through in a heavy rain. And if there's freezing
invovled I just imagine them freezing to the car. For the snowy parts of the
year I think you'll want to cover with something more substanial than a
breathable cover. And then maybe got back to something that lets moisture out
when it warms back back up. Not that I know anything about actual weather
living in CA.

While this isn't directly TR related, I suspect there are some of us who
still
have park our LBC outside when we'd rather not. Since we've moved I now have
to park my driver XJ12 outside, but I still want to protect it. Does anyone
have a recommendation for a type or brand of cover that's effective for four
season use?
Jim
