Has anybody got any suggestions for an indoor dust cover for the MTW3 apart from the one sold by MMC? as always their accessories seem ludicrously expensive.

big ugly plastic tarp. It will do the job but it will not exude class or style. It will be cheap.
As always, one must think of the future. One dies at night, while sleeping. The family arrives to deal with all the details. They see an ugly plastic cover covering something...
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

There are a lot of ways to go here, but if it's inside and you just don't want dust to accumulate on the finish I'd agree with Michael and the tarp...do not go with one of those elasticized 'car covers' as they can easily scratch the paint. Personally, I like the 'car capsule' which is a heavy duty vinyl that is inflated and encapsulates your car: http://carcapsule.com/ This will keep everything off the car and maintain it at a fairly constant temp and humidity.

I use a fitted bottom bed sheet, OK it does not fit over the whole car but cost nothing. Since I park away from home I would not want to cover a hot engine.

.... I would not want to cover a hot engine. learning by doing  Twice I thought the exhaust pipes had cooled down more than they actually did.. I have a well ventilated front end on my original £££ M3W cover now...

I bought one from Specialised Covers, I believe they make the ones Morgan sell.

I have a well-taylored custom-made cotton cover, paid 90 Euro, made with a strong black fabric that will protect all car from dust and will not be ripped by the many protruding objects around the car. Obviously it will not work with an hot engine, but I can wait an hour or so before fitting it.

I recommend https://www.classicadditions.com . Best quality seen so far. I had a red one for my Tuscan and I am waiting for the M3W one...around 300£ including shipping. (They're official supplier for Aston Martin and did the cover for the DB10...  )
