    Best Source For Fitted Cover (Indoors) For 2 Liter 911?

    Hi,

    Apologies in advance for a topic I'm sure has been discussed (but I can't locate a thread). I purchased the Porsche "Classic" indoor soft cover for a SWB, 2 liter 911, to find out it was really fitted for a car significantly larger. It even said "Carrera" on it, which of course, a 2 liter 911 is not. I called thinking it was a mistake to be told that Porsche deems all cars 964 and early as "classic" and there for it was correct. Silly, IMHO, bc they are dramatically different size and shapes, mirrors are different, etc. This looks ridiculous on my 60s 911, but fits perfectly on my 964, so I'll keep it for that.

    But still doesn't help me with my SWB 911. Does anyone have a recommendation for a great (fitted) indoor cover for a 1960s 911?

    Thanks in advance!

    i got a 'Formfit' by "Covercraft" for MY72, I got a Logo on the front so I can tell the front from the back (as it is always folded up so the outside is against the outside when not on the car)
    It sits an inch off the ground from rear wheel to front wheels and works great. Machine washable. My only criticism is that the wing mirror pocket could be smaller especially on a 60's 911 with the round mirror. Best to talk to someone at Covercraft so they understand.

    If I had to take that thing off every time I wanted to use it, the car would never get out of the garage.

    ej, I totally agree but the car now resides in a pretty old garage attached to a pretty old house here in Parnell (circa 1858) and it is uninsulated,dusty and small.
    My PB is 17 seconds to take the cars 'nightie' off which to me is a small price to pay rather than finding the neighbours cat sitting on the roof.

    From 1858, yours has to be one of the first houses in Parnell. My town, Southold, is a tad older (founded in 1640), but my storage barn, c.1920, is a relative youngster and dirty. I understand your problem. Keep working on your PB. How long does it take to replace the cover? EJB

    I got the Porsche one as well for my LWB and think it fits well enough. Mine does not say “Carrera” though, so doesn’t sound like the same as yours
