When P1B79909DN first arrived it the USA, we bought a car cover from MG Mitten. Their covers were made specifically for each model and their ‘S’-type cover was high quality and fitted perfectly. We bought the “Golden Mink”, which was lined with a soft material, even though it cost $10.00 more!
The cover was used any time the car was in the garage and rarely outdoors and then only if we were away over night on a tour or at a car show.
Eventually though it gradually aged, became quite faded and acquired a rip or two that had to be stitched. I know there is a photo of P1B79909DN with the cover on, but I cannot find it so include a photo of the cover folded on the workbench.
For P1B79909DN’s 50th birthday, Patricia surprised our ‘S’-type (and me!) by presenting us with a new car cover. It is the Jaguar Union Jack Indoor Car Cover from Welsh Enterprises (see Newsletter Vol. 9, No. 4. While not tailored to the ‘S’-type, you can see in the photos that it fits very nicely. It is medium weight soft, non-abrasive cotton material, fine for indoor coverage, but not suitable for any weather.
Cheers,
David
