Post Car cover?
Has anyone got a source for Mangusta car covers, or ordered custom made ones from third-parties? The "custom" cover makers on the web all seem to be less than custom -- they require the make and model of the car and -- of course -- don't give Qvale/Mangusta as an option. All leads appreciated.

P.S. Sorry if this is somewhere on the Board already, I tried to seach but "cover" is too common a search term.

TIm...

The best is to get a generic unit, for a smaller vehicle with the dimensions of the Mangusta. i have a few "indoor only" covers they custom made and fitted.About $345.00.

You could use them outside but the are made from lined satin and moisture would destroy them..

Thanks John.

I found out that Covercraft does have a pattern on file for the Mangusta. Pattern number is C16979 size code G2. Any of their dealers should be able to put through an order with this, without having to do measurements. They can do any of their materials so long as you have the pattern number and size code. I made an order (3-4 weeks deliver time) for an outdoor one and will let folks know how it fits/works when it gets here.

My best,

That's a good point it may be for the 68-69 Mangusta... Far different dimensions. Much closer to the Pantera

Well, you made me sufficiently nervous enough that I called Covercraft and asked them. They confirmed, even reading back to me the spelling of Q-v-a-l-e. I will definitely update the post when mine arrives to let you know how it fits.

My best,
