<p>Mine was a Moltex. They come in a variety of sizes, I bought the right one for an MX-5 because I wanted it for my Legerra. I bought it from a stand at an event at Castle Combe. It cost £160, I think. It is really tough, water proof and is supposed to allow the car to breathe. I bought it because I was fed up with cheap ones that rip the first time that you put them on the car and disintegrate in the first storm. I am very pleased with it.</p>

<p>I spoke to them first and he recommended the so called voyager one</p>

<p>Voyager is about half the price of the Monsoon, but only 'shower proof' - not sure what that exactly means - we'll see. He reckoned it would be just right if being left…</p>

<p>Voyager is about half the price of the Monsoon, but only 'shower proof' - not sure what that exactly means - we'll see. He reckoned it would be just right if being left outside this time of year just for a few weeks - which is exactly what I am thinking of. He made comments about the UV stability on the fully waterproof Monsoon too - in spite of the website saying it was proof against that! Then again that seems to have been the main problem with the Halfords one so maybe its a generic problem with that type of cover.</p>
<p>I was dubious as to whether it really was tailored to the Phaeton but they he said they have built up a database of many odd things over the years. Someone must have had one made before</p>
<p>He said that they do specially tailored custom covers to spec, and have a guy who can come and do patterning for additional cost, or that I could bring a car round which would then be for free. They are based in Sussex which is fairly handy.</p>
<p>So that'll be the Stylus covered too then if it works out well.</p>

<p>I'll let you all know!</p>

<p>My niece paid about that for a "custom" MX5 one about 2 years back, has a sort of felt backing to prevent scratching etc. Her car is never garaged and she spends months away at sea. Car always seems in top notch when she visits.</p>

<p>Just noticed this bit from the website entry:</p>
<p>"This car cover has been cleverly designed to fit all Dutton Pheaton Series 3 models. It is not a universal cover as offered elsewhere, it's custom fit!"</p>
<p>Pity about the spellign mistake but that's still quite a claim - which would be hard to defend if it really is a generic as my cynicism was telling me.</p>
<p>£122 is quite alot I suppose but if it really is that good then it could actually be good value</p>

<p>I've had 2 off the evil bay, each lasted 1 winter, cheap (less then £20 each) but not that good. James Doulton has one for his Phaeton which is the best quality one I have ever seen, over to you James :-)</p>

<p>I got a half decent one from a company called 'fastcar' lol... not tailored though. I'll have a look into the company today when I get to the shop.</p>
