anyone got one for their ST, worth buying, where from?

Just cleaned my car saturday - sunday woke up and there is a light sand covering it - my dad had one for his scooby so wondered if there is a specific one for the ST or a universal one?

cheers

a tarpaulin should do the trick.

Tarpaulin is more than adequate. I personally couldn't be bothered with any cover but if you want a good fitted one, here - http://www.cover-zone.co.uk/?gclid=CMe9z5a7n5MCFQ_alAodzmsbtA

Hell no! Tarpaulin? Why not just get some wire wool and scratch your car to heck?! If you want to invest in a pretty darned good fitted car cover with a soft fleecy lining, securing straps & breathable cover then a cover from Hamilton Classic is the way to go. Might be pricey but worth it imo.

I think you'll need size B but give them a call just to double check.

Hamilton Classic are also at most of the major shows so if you're going to Ford Fair, Goodwood etc etc they're usually there and usually have offers on. They also do fitted seat covers with the Ford symbol printed on.

That's for an indoor cover. You do want an indoor cover dont you?

I called Hamilton Classic and they've confirmed the correct size for the ST is HBM or "Hatchback Medium" which as an outdoor cover is £108 (plus P&P).

An indoor cover? He said to protect it from sand so I wouldn't think so..

Can't believe how expensive it is either!! I bought an adequate one in argos years ago for about £10-15, it was universal but did the job!
