Cover for SL 350

[Nigel Madge]

Hi I have just purchased a 2011 SL350 which will be kept outside. I want to purchase a good quality cover. Does anybody have a recommendation?

Hello and welcome,

I recommend brick and roof tiles...

I got mine covered by LV. Good policy.

Seriously though, Clarkes have great reviews for their covers - and they're reasonably priced. I think you need a large size:

Hello and welcome.
If you have off street parking and are only going to use for Sundays and holidays there are some easy erected canvas type garage's that work well. Covers tend to be a little unfriendly towards the paint work.

+1 (if parked in exposed/windy place).

My previous car (Aston Martin Vantage) was parked outside with a Clarkes cover over winter and I didn't have any paint problems. It was rather sheltered though. But ideally, if you have the space and budget, what "00slk" has suggested would be the best way.

Aston Martin Vantage......Nice, we nearly traded our SL500 in on a DB7 last year.

DB7 a car that leaks worse than an R230...

That would account for the rusty floor pan....

@00slk likes mobile jacuzzis so he'd have been fine

Nah, LK, the DB7 wouldn't hold water for me, there were holes right through.

With 18 years in the covers business, this is the best cover we have ever come across amd I recommend it to you: https://carcovershop.co.uk/Car-Waterproof-Breathable-Covers.asp

For the R230, you may know if its the same bodyshell as the preceeding R129, as theres a custom made R129 version, in this selection at £285: https://carcovershop.co.uk/carsearch-detail.asp?id=2883

Otherwise Size L standard fit at £225 via the top link given

regards
