I bought one from these guys: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/coveryourcar

The one I bought was the top of the range £109 one for outdoor use but they actually do 3 different ones. The cheapest is just over £50 - I'm sure this would do you for indoor use. The one I have is good quality, has been well made and is a very good fit.

Hi Dougie,

Copied this straight off another thread I have put the info on, so you may have seen it already. Note that you can buy an indoor one for less.

What you need is a carcoon like this:









What the carcoon does is take all the moisture out of everywhere in and around the car. Our cars will rust from the inside out. The carcoon will stop that happening.

Mine is a twin wall so can be used outside. The only time I get a problem is with heavy snow and I have to brush it off. These are used by all the classic car people.

To give you an idea of how good it is, I will tell you that I removed mine from the carcoon and someone from this forum was going to fit new leather covered seats for me. He did not turn up on several occasions and the Mini was left in a large garage I own for about three months. This was the first time rust actually came through and on the corner of the bumpers. The car was totally re built in 2001 with a new shell and has always been kept safe. Those three months were the worst it had ever suffered! I have since paid to have the bumpers resprayed.

I paid £373.29 with vat for mine in 2007

Cost me more than that to get the bumpers and a little bit more resprayed!

Hope that helps.

Best regards

Chris

I bought one of these clicky.. to put over my Mini when its in my garage. I went with this one as it can be used outside as well, so would come in handy for the odd occasions I want it covering outside!

But, if its just for in the garage, they do a cover just for use indoors clicky..
