Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Storm Covers

I bought one from the Mog event in MK. Priced very close to those from other people. Fits extremely well, covers the bonnet and no straps over paintwork. The only flaw is that the Morgan wings logo has pealed off after I parked it for 2 days in a hotel car park in the south of France - the hot sun must have been too much for it. Very pleased with it. The first storm cover I have bought that looks like lasting (got our 1st Morgan in 2003 and have already consigned 2 storm covers to the bin).

I wouldn't use a full storm cover with straps unless the car was completely clean.

I do have one but it's rarely used for that reason. Overnight in windy conditions the straps are very likely to mark the paint.

Mostly I use a cockpit cover which doesn't contact the paint but keeps the hood dry (and the interior). I use the cockpit cover every day when touring.

Also take the bag for storing the wet cockpit cover while travelling.

I have the John Taylor cover but if the engine is still warm from a run I just tuck the bonnet section underneath at the windscreen, so it becomes a 'cockpit only' cover. If worried about windy conditions you could do the same while still having the fully extended cover available to protect the engine if it rains. I found that it was still easiest to put the cover on first by using the headlamp loops and then, once it was fully secured, to release the headlamp loops and tuck the bonnet extension underneath against the windscreen.
