We purchased a “Traveling Garage” car cover from AutoFarm, a Healey parts supplier and shop in Canada, for the AH 3000 years ago and thought it would be nice to have one for the Bugeye. They didn’t show one on their website catalog so I called them and asked if they would make one for the Bugeye. Amanda Rule was VERY accommodating! They had a couple of Bugeyes in their shop at the time that could be used as a “form” so they agreed to make one for us.
The cover is very light weight and comes with a handy storage bag. The purchase (about $200 all in) includes two tenax fasteners that the owner installs to fit their car. The front of the cover is held in place with ties that go around the windscreen wiper shafts/bezels.

As the name implies, this top is perfect for traveling. It covers the areas susceptible to leaks when the car is parked in the rain, dries quickly and folds up taking little storage space in the car. A nice alternative to having to carry around a full car cover. We are very pleased with the acquisition and appreciate the responsiveness of Amanda at AutoFarm.

That looks like a very useful accessory, don’t want rain getting into the car after all that work!
Thanks, Phil! Probably won’t help much in high winds, but otherwise it should help to keep things dry.
