Locost Car Cover
tomduffield13 - 12/7/17 at 10:32 AM

Looking for a Car Cover for a 7 style Locost, waterproof for use whilst on a trailer only, so specific or universal.

Possibly also interested in a breathable dust cover for whilst in garage if reasonably priced.

Thanks.

I used a cover for a mx5, elasticated at the ends and fitted a treat.

Thanks Benchmark, i'm slightly concerned the elastic wouldn't hold at motorway towing speeds. I've seen some with clip straps that may do the job, did you tow with yours?

Towed a couple of times with it and I used small ratchet straps. Really cheap on ebay.

If on a trailer this is what you need, or at least copy the idea.

Look at this on eBay Caterham / Westfield Car Cover & Tie Down Trailer Net & Bungee Cord

Not locost though

A cheap lined car cover will be fine, the likes of machine Matt and even Lidl and aldi have offers, and then an elasticated cargo net over the top. You'd be amazed at how fast the cover will flap against the bodywork without the cargo net, I wore through the paint and gelcoat in one area of the body in 60miles!! I now trailer without the cover and just stick it on when stationary
