transalpian Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Greetings! I have a Birkin S3 and am looking for a fitted cover for use in the garage (I've a bit of a bat problem). Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Unless you're set on having a fitted cover, you could use anything that is easy on the paint. I use a fitted bed sheet when needed. :seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transalpian Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I guess I'm not "set" on a fitted cover, but I do like them on my other cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCh Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have a Covercraft. They have a pattern for a Lotus 7 in their database that fits my car pretty well. It's a little tight in places, but a Westfield is closer in size to a Caterham SV, so it should be just about perfect for your Birkin. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDreamOfChapman Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have a covercraft as well. It fits my standard caterham perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 In the garage I just throw an old bed sheet over the car when not driving for a long time. I know I am cheap but it works as well as anything else. On tour I used to have a custom fitted rain cover for the cockpit but that got damaged on the GBB tour. So I bought a small green tarp for the whole car, tied down with 4 bungees. Once again cheap and functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi7ot Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I use a smallish tarp/bungees to cover the cockpit and engine cover (to prevent engine misfiring) when the car is outdoors overnight. I have a covercraft that fits the VW corrado for longer term. it is rather loose fitting but better than nothing. "Is that a couch in the corner of your garage?" "Yeah" m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx7locost Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a leftover dustcover for my MGA(now gone). My personal seamstress/wife used her skills and made some alterations. It is a pretty cheap (as in lousy) cover though it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTTTCAR Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 For me a portion of the pleasure of owning a 7 is getting to look at it every time I go into the garage.......so it remains uncovered. Gale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsport Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I have a California cover for mine, but when I go on trips I use a canvas picnic table cover from Lowes. I think it was 25 dollars. Heavy canvas for outdoor use. It fits the Stalker, Birkin and it has been on a couple of Locost for trial fits. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
