Oops. Sorry!
I got my cover from e-bay before christmas last year second hand for ?20. Does the job pretty well. Don't know the make but its silver, single layer (lets air in and out but not water). If you're going to get just a cover, I suggest putting blanket on the car first. It will stop the cover rubbing in windy weather.
As for the folding garage, I think it would be better than the above - plenty of air circulation and you can work on the car when its raining!

the fold away things look pretty small…. caterhams arnt that big any ways ( as show in their picture) If I had the money I would try one ….some car covers always seem to flap about in the wind damaging the paint :cry:
