Depends on what your needs are. Here's a good list of options from a reputable company, not sure if they're in the UK.

Inside storage? Outside? What sort of weather will you see?

Looking for an indoor one .
Seen some good looking Elan specific ones in the Lotus Green and yellow with a logo ?
Anyone have one for sale ??

I think I have sorted out an outdoor one for when I have to leave the car un-garaged.

Thanks for your help and advice

Regards

I have a "Dustop" version. Does pretty much what it says on the label, is lightweight and (important!) easy to put into the washing machine. Why? It's an indoor cover, right??? If it keeps the dust off the car, it accumulates on the cover and needs to be washed clean periodically.

I got mine from Classic Additions. Speak to them, I'm sure they do logos as well.
