breezy7 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I bought my cover 2 years ago from AJUSA. It is made by Covercraft and is said to be good for indoor and outdoor storage, but I haven't tried it outside so can't comment on how well it holds up to rain. It seems to let a fair amount of dust through but has saved me a few times from dinging the paint with a bike or lawnmower. The fit is a little sloppy for supposedly being a custom fit for a 7 but not terrible. Checked the AJUSA site and price is around $162 with free shipping.

JohnCh Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I also have the Covercraft. The pattern (#54) is available in several different fabrics depending on your needs. Here are a couple of photos of it in place on my Westfield to give an idea of fit. The Westfield is a little bigger than a classic Caterham, but I believe it is a bit smaller than the SV. http://www.usa7s.org/aspnetforum/upload/412984050_carcover-front-800.jpg http://www.usa7s.org/aspnetforum/upload/947730909_carcover-rear-800.jpg -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowflyer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I picked up a very nice Wolf brand cover, that was made for a Mazda Miata, off of the local Craig's list. The fit isn't great, but the $20.00 price was! I only use it to keep the dust and dirt off the car when it's in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwind25 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We got ours as well to fit a miata. but be careful with the new non-cotton synthetic styles.. they will melt right to your exhaust in a moment dont ask Mary how she knows this.

Ian7 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My very expensive cover direct from Caterham fits the rear of my stock caterham perfectly, but is about a foot too narrow at the front; go figure... (no its not an SV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I got mine from California Car Cover - they have one that fits a Super Seven. Fits my Stalker well, and they have the usual choice of materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My very expensive cover direct from Caterham fits the rear of my stock caterham perfectly, but is about a foot too narrow at the front; go figure... (no its not an SV) Is it a classic with the wide track front suspension? If so, you probably got a cover for the standard width suspension.

Ian7 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 nope, just the basic version; even if it was wider, the contours around the headlights would still result in a disappointing fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
