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 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.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
