Preferably lightweight, preferably waterproof (and fireproof if they make them that way), and preferably won't blow away into the next county in the event of a gentle gust of wind getting up.

Ideally will be big enough to cover a BMW 1 Series, and/or VW Polo (2014 model).

I expect the car companies can supply them if you're prepared to stump up, but is there ANYWHERE that sells effective covers of this kind for a sensible price?

Do I really have to buy one of Sir Cyril Smith's old vests to do the job?

Thanks etc

Alun, I can't recommend one, but a quick search for 'best car cover' has come up with this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carpoint-1723243-Tybond-Full-Cover/dp/B000WNB0MC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1401982724&sr=8-2&keywords=Best+car+cover

If you read the reviews they are very positive for it. Other sizes also available.

Thank you very much Tommy - I will check them out in due course my good man.

BTW….I felt just violated when I read you have thrown over the Peppa Pig ice lollies for Funny Feet. Is there no loyalty left in this sick world? Even The Count would surely have never stooped so low.

haha! Funny Feet were my first love, so it was Peppa Pig who was the hussy!

I've been having a further search for you Alun and it looks like you won't get anything better for around the 40 quid mark.

There's plenty of 'cheapos' about - but I know from experience that they're just rubbish.

There's one company who do them individual to each car model but for a BMW Series 1 they're quoting a minimum of £120:

Another 'bespoke' company won't even give you an idea of price unless you send them your details but here they are anyway:

Do you want to be able to view the headlamps or should it be fully veiled?
Report alun2005 • June 6, 2014 10:47 AM BST
The car must be fully covered please Kenneth, like my ladies. A type of Burka/Car Cover combination would be perfect.

Thank you all for the excellent contributions to date. I should add that the person who contributes the best idea will win a special prize box of 144 Peppa Pig ice lollies, which Tommy Toes has kindly been volunteered to supply. I read somewhere he has 2 enormous great fridges in his cellar at home crammed with them.
