Default Car Cover

I'm looking for a Union Jack car cover for my XK vert. Anyone know of a source?

Exactly, except at about a third of that price. Holy Ripoff, Batman! I wonder if the Scottish flag is any less expensive today

A U.S. company called 'Welsh Enterprises' has them.

Pretty cool! Is this going to be for indoor use? I wonder what happens with all those dyes in the rain...

I finally found a great place to purchase my "Union Jack" car cover for indoor winter storage. Its only $222, which is substantially less expensive than any other that I saw and Bill is a huge Jag enthusiast. He owns two XKR's, so he assures that the cover will fit my car. Pretty interesting website and history to how Bill's parts business was formed.

If an indoor cover gets wet; forget it... Weights like 80lbs and almost impossible to do anything with it. Too big too wash and major hassle to spread out in the sun to dry...

In Naples, Florida, they just wrap the car. No need for a cover.

I know the original inquire here was specific to a Union Jack liveried car cover - but I couldn't help note that I am really pleased with my indoor car cover from "Coverking" (purchased via Auto Anything web retailer). Super light, super soft and it fits like an absolute glove. Available in multiple colors (Just not Union Jack I am afraid).

Thanks. It's at least a small space I can call "my own".
