Looking for a good waterproof car cover for my SL 500 Autumn and Spring when she's not used as much. Any recommendations please. (Have arranged a garage for when salt goes down)

Presume you want an indoor cover? AutoExpress recommended Concours Luxor Premium (in 2019 though):


I am looking for one as well for the SL (R231) garage queen. It was MoT'd today, just 400 miles since last year!

Indoor ones are generally not particularly waterproof.
My. 129 lives under the storm force version of this:

Admittedly it's inside but it's been under it for 9 months now and it's all good and protected from pigeon shite etc.

I bought the Concours Luxor Premium for my R231 two years ago based on the Auto Express review. You can find cheaper but I have been really pleased with it. It is designed to fit the car precisely, is in the same condition now as when new with no fading etc and has a soft facing so no issues with scratching the paintwork. My car lives in a garage under this cover but there are tie downs so I imagine you could secure it if left outside - I have never tried.

Thank you! I think you have made my mind up for me!
