Really depends on the dimensions of the particular covers.

Just look for one advertised for an MGF...

Also make sure you secure it as they blow off

I've bought and used one from this company for the last six or so years.

It tends to only get used during the winter months, is used both inside and out and the only issue is a small tear in the lower section of the rear bumper section that I made about three years ago. Too lazy to fix it/sew it, but it hasn't been an issue.

Depending on exactly what you want, you could be looking at a lot of £££, but do make sure you get something that's breathable.

Most car covers are either saloon or hatchback shaped and don't fit a sports car well at all.

I bought a cheap small car one advertised in the Telegraph paper and it was really the wrong shape but it did the job. It was long enough but the roof hump and mirror pockets were in the wrong place. It was only bought as a temporary measure but it was on the car for 3 years and eventually it became frayed and torn around the mirror pockets due to it being a bad fit and a strong storm wind. It never blew off though as I tied ropes across the boot and bonnet down to the wheels. Just had to readjust it after a storm!

We bought one from Argos for £32.99 as it was recommended for an mx5 in the reviews.

Good quality for the money and fits securely.
