Can anyone recommend a quality outdoor cover for my Sport, as its currently living on the driveway as I am getting my garage ready for the strip down...

Check out http://www.cover-zone.com/product_range.php . I purchased their indoor cover for mine, really nice fit and the inside is nice and soft. Comes with straps and clips to clip underneath the car, and comes with rubber clip covers to prevent them scratching your paint when fitting etc.

I know people who have purchased the outdoor versions 'monsoon' and 'stormforce' for other cars, and I would've brought one of them if I didn't have the garage!

I take it you bought the sahara cover? The fleece lined one looks great until you see the price

I've had the storm force one for 5 years and use it out side all year round. It's gone a funny colour but still water proof and strong

I really don't fancy spending £180 on a car cover! ...I may have to...but I would rather spend my elsewhere...I am trying to be cheeky and find a used cover, albeit of a different car...I found a couple for MX5's...the StormForce from Cover Zone...around £50....I am wondering if I can get away with that??!!

...buy i think the E30 is significantly bigger...

I use and thoroughly recommend the Halfords all weather cover. The medium size is almost a perfect fit for the E30 and cost about £60. Totally waterproof, very robust and breathable. Doesn't scratch paint either like the plastic feeling ones. Has straps and clips that go underneath and survived the windiest NE Scottish days.

Oh, hang on, it might be a large that you need! I'll just go and check

Yes, it's large for the E30. I was so impressed with it when I bought it that I went straight out and bought an extra large one for my E34 touring. My convible has remained bone dry all winter. You need to make sure the seams go on the outside by the way.
