My car cover for my Ghia is on its last legs - I purchased it from Rocky moutain motorworks over 10 years ago, It has been used for indoor and external use , but its held together with duck tape in places, what it does have which I would like to get in its replacement is the pockets for the wing mirrors.
So the question is - what covers would you recommend for garage use with the occasional outside use - that has a reasonable price tag ?

Let us know how it fits and the quality of fabric. I always get covers made from the NOAH fabrics. My cars are always outside so a 4 year cover is maybe good for two. The one I got for my ghia did not have mirror pockets so that was the first place to wear through. The pockets are also usually the first place to wear through.
