Default xkr car cover

Hi can anyone recomend a good fitted indoor car cover to fit my xkr coupe 2010. I was bought a genuine cover from jaguar for xmas but when i got it out of the box was quite dissapointed it was quite a stiff silver material and rough on the inside they only make one. It seems to me a outside cover i am based in England on the south coast many thanks in advance Nick.f ps any photo,s would be great

There are quite a few posts on this, a quick search should find you what you need.

Very happy with my indoor cover from Coverking.

Perfect fit and liked the various color options.

For an indoor car cover, you do not need anything fancy or expensive.

I suggest eBay UK.

Medium Size M Full Car Cover UV Protection Outdoor Indoor Breathable | eBay

No reason to spend over $50.00 USD.

Nick,

+1 on Richzak's advice. You don't need an expensive fitted cover. My really inexpensive cover is over 4 years old and still like new because it's been used only in my garage. See my post #5 in this old thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-covers-82423/

+1 on Stuart's picture, mine looks very similar. A little baggy on the sides, but does the job of keeping the dust off over the winter. (Now if only my garage looked half as nice as his! Or does your car actually have its own bedroom?)

Ok, because of you and 'Stuart S', I absolutely cannot let my wife see this thread, or she'll get 'garage envy' and all my **** will be sitting out on the curb for the trashman (seriously, where do you guys keep your ****?)!
For me, I've got garage envy for guys like 'jagtoes' and 'Fstbmw1', that have lifts in the garage, so they can park 2 in the space of one, and be able to work comfortably under their cars.

Better be careful with that one, as it doesn't say it will fit our cars (it says it will fit the XK150, which is different than our X150. So nice of Jaguar to use confusing model numbers and names). Best to contact them and get measurements before ordering.

Better to use google for forum searches. Their algorithms are much more sophisticated. Just type "jaguarforums.com car cover" (or whatever you're searching for). The results will be much more relevant.

I am very happy with my Bill Tracy car cover. The owner, Bill I guess, was very responsive and helpful. You're dealing with him directly. The cover-king covers are high quality material (they'll send you free samples) and seem to be better fitted, but the Union Jack is just cool

Just to be contrary, if you've spent less than $50 you're not having enough fun!

Yes it is!
I see you've got blue and white on the house, tell me you've got red garage doors to match?
