Default Dedicated Car Cover (Outdoor)

Does anyone know where I can get a dedicated outdoor car cover for my S2000? I have a Neighbour/Fox problem. Ongoing building works (Mud) + Foxes means my car is in the wars. Building work will go on for at least another 18 Months and my neighbour just shrugs and says what can he do so I need to put a barrier between the muddy fox feet and my car. Can anyone help?

Specialised Covers, Bradford.
I used one for 5 years without any issues at all, a good fit and no paint damage whatsoever. The company have been helpful and modified it for the bootrack without any charge.
The only problem is a cat likes to sleep on it and has damaged it by sharpening its claws on it. I am looking for someone who could let me have a good cat repellent for a couple of days, a 12 bore would be ideal.

Why is mud from building work causing a problem?

Because a Fox is walking in it then climbing on my car to clean its feet on my roof. Its damaging the paintwork with the grit on its feet and the clay based soil is staining the roof fabric.

If I manage to get the cat repellent I have requested, you can borrow it after me.

Can borrow one of mine if you wish.

I would actually recommend a .375 rifle as opposed to a shotty though, pellet spread could cause damage to the bodywork.

I do have to say, neighbours tend to get a little tetchy once they catch you scoping in their furry pets.

He's not the sort of bloke that responds to that or a diplomatic approach either. (He is built like a brick **** House). To him a car is just a thing to get him from A to B. His cars are generally pieces of crap and he just does not get that an S2000 is a thing of beauty to be cherished.
