Outdoor cover?

Can anyone recommend an oudoor waterproof fitted cover for my formula 27?

Would Caterham ones fit ok?

What do other people use?

Look in the adverts in a kit car magazine, there are companies in there that do them for around £100

I can recommend Softbitsforsevens. Not the cheapest but very nice....

another f27 owner eh!?!?

I'm going to do it locost stylel, a machine mart tarp and a wooden or metal tunes to make a tent like frameto drape the tarp in conjunction to the roll bar.

not done it yet so cannot advise any more.

wouldn't say another 27 owner as i bought mine of Steve.

Would like one that would fold up small enough to be able to put in the boot

i used a car cover from argos, broke it in a year (as in, ripped to pieces!). Partly my fault as i lost me rag with it! Then a think blue ground sheet, went stiff in the sun and torn too. Now its under a 'proper' blue tarp with eye holes. Not car shaped but covers the cockpit very well, and it bungees down well.

Argos blue ones have the life expectancy of a doughnut at a weight watchers convention by all accounts...

I'm using a Vango fly sheet from a tent with good results - loads of straps and bits of string on it too!
Does this qualify for locost?

I get about 12 months out of the Halfords silver ones at about £45 a go. You dont get any condensation which is REALLY important.
