Hi there Z club, Mit may have been 7yrs since I sold the Brown Hornet. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it, or where it may now be? Getting that itch back somewhat. Regards, Adam

Ahh thanks car. I actually spoke to Alan today and can confirm this is correct.

I can't make a suggestion for sizing for a zed, but having an MX5 with a leaky soft-top that lives on the street I'm a bit of a self-proclaimed "expert" on car covers. I have found the best of the ones I've used ver the last 8 years of MX5 ownership to be the top of the range ones from Supercheap.....They sell a few different rated ones, I use the one that has the highest rating for waterproof-ness (and is the most expensive, although not excessively so). I've also used one from Repco, plus a more expensive one from a dedicated "car cover" selling website (would have to look at it to be sure, its past its use by date for keeping the MX5 dry on the street but has been relegated to keeping the dust off the Datsun in the shed). The most expensive one lasted the shortest time before degrading / starting to rip. The Repco one lasted OK, but the front and rear elastics failed - the "belly strap" meant it didn't come off the car but in any sort of wind the front or rear would lift off the car and flap around. It also wasn't 100% waterproof, despite being claimed to be. Not too bad, but the car would be damp under the cover after rain and stayed damp for a while so cover wasn't great for breathability.The Supercheap ones lasted longest (still only maybe 2 years in full sun / rain all the time), fitted well and were 100% waterproof. Also had little vents and seemed to breathe well, if the cover was put on while the car was wet, it still dried out well. Whatever you get, be prepared to replace it every couple of years.
