I got a 'thouroughbred' cover for the 356 and it seems a little baggy and not that tailored. but worked well for a couple of years.

Then the bloke down the road gave me his 'Cover Craft'cover he had for his Ferrari Dino and I put that on my 912. Must have similar shapes because if fit snug. Now its on the 924 and fits fine if a little short as the 924 m ust be taller than a Dino.

My mate has several cars and he has 'Auto Pajamas' and they seem to do the trick. Just get one that breaths, as cars tend to sweat a bit and that defeats the object of having one.
