l have these for my xjrs and xkr and am very happy with them. Soft inner surface, elastic both ends. They have hold down straps attached but l cut these off for purely indoor use.

I bought one of these, depending on what you want could be pricey

A Covercraft Car Cover is the one I use on 'Cherry Blossom' which is made of Noah breathable material and protected her from the elements when She was left outside for 15 Years!

Which as I remember cost about £200 (UK) and was well worth every penny

Mine came with a Jaguar XJS cover, perfect fit.

I have bought two from carcovers.com. The first lasted 2.5 years (from Oct 2014 to Feb 2017 for replacement) before deteriorating (it rips easily when replaced) but has been exposed to Toronto area winters and summers. I used it outside 12 months of the year.
I was happy enough to buy a second one now. Both cases I bought the one referred to as platinum. It ended up around $220 with clips. etc.
The fit on my coupe is perfect.
The big thing is making sure it is well fastened against wind.
Not sure about the warranties as the platinum has a "lifetime warranty" and mine I had to replace after 2 years. The lower cheapest warranty one is 2 years.

Thanks, guys. My car is always indoor so just a regular custom-fit car cover will do. Just had an oil change done by my local Jaguar mechanic. The car now shows 10.040 miles. It will stay indoor most of the time this summer. I will apply a leather protectant next week and waxed the outside about a month ago. Love this car
Terry
