Good afternoon

I'm looking for suggestions of a quality car cover that would fit my X308 XJR.

Unfortunately I do not have access to a garage so I need something suitable to protect against the elements during the winter months.

 

I’m in the same boat — townhouse with no garage and communal parking. I’m pretty sure the days of the really thick Jag cover are long since gone as the material used borders on unobtanium in today’s market. I last priced one at a dealer and was told $900 about four years ago so ….

I bought the “platinum” one from an outfit called carcovers.com. It’s thinner than the one I bought for my first jag 22 years ago, but serviceable and was about $200. I should use it more than I do, but I’m happy with it. Actually, the one I have is for an ‘06 VDP and the ‘03 VDP I now have seems fractionally shorter, so I just put a small fold in it and close the trunk on it.

My advice should you get one is use parachute cord instead of bungees. The bungee fasteners can scratch and one on which the plastic cap had disappeared off the end managed to cut darn near through the sidewall of a tire in a high wind. It was very sharp. I bought nylon cord at a hardware store and use it front, center and rear, cinch it tight, and try to similarly get the center plastic-covered locking cable cinched tight to avoid rubbing the finish at the lowest point. You can also stuff a towel or something under the cable at the side on which you lock it to protect the finish. Pull everything tight because the lighter covers will lift easily in strong wind.

Good luck.

 

Be sure to read the application coverage's that and get one that applies to your conditions.
I've ordered a couple of covers for my Corvette from these guys, same one Eliot recommended, they always advertise 50% off. I also like his recommendations for the cable and such, I've seen a piece of a pool noodle used on each end of the cable to protect the body.

Covercraft makes some really good quality car covers. They aren’t cheap but, if you want something nice and it’ll last, that’s what I did.

 

Can the OP please let us know what they got, from where, how much it cost and how happy they are with their purchase?
