It is that time of year when you may be thinking of hibernating your classic car until the spring. So, if that is the case, is it worth considering putting a cover over it?
A large number of restorers of classic cars are of the opinion that a good classic car cover is important.
A major factor in your decision making process is going to be based upon whether your cherished vehicle is going to be kept in a garage or outside on your drive.
If it is to be kept indoors then you are less likely going to want to go to the expense of purchasing a cover for your classic car. This is because it is not going to be subject to as many elements of the weather that we encounter here in the UK during the winter months. A car cover for indoor use is going to be beneficial in keeping dust of your paintwork and potentially the interior of your classic car as well as reducing the possibility of the bodywork being scratched.
If you are going to keep your classic car on your drive or the road outside your home then a more robust cover for your vehicle is required. Such a cover will help protect your vehicle from dust, scratches, rain, frost, sun, snow, wind and any other elements of the weather you come across in the UK. If you happen to live by the sea then a cover is even more important to protect against the salt from the sea and sand.
Another benefit of a cover for your classic car is that it could help act as a deterrent to car thieves. This is because it helps hide the fact that under the cover is a valuable classic car and it also takes time to remove a cover.
A downside of using a cover is that you purchase one that does not fit correctly. For instance, if it is too loose this may cause damage to the paint if it blows around in the wind. There is also the cost factor but having said that it could be argued it is money well spent.
