SL55 oem indoor car cover
Did MB make a nice stretchy indoor cover like the Ferrari covers?

I looked on ebay and did searches but did not find an answer. If there is such an animal, anybody have one they would sell?
thanks

MB made two car covers for the R230, first is a white/gray one with the Mercedes Benz logo and a simple bag, the second (about double the price) is a white/gray one with the AMG logo and a nice duffle bag

This is what it looks like. It's a fairly tight fit; this is what it looked like fresh out of the bag. Even has a little cubby hole for the antenna.

thank you both for your solutions. I guess MB does not offer the stretch indoor cover, but the coverking looks like a good solution.

The cover king example that Blownv8 posted. They are indoor only and very soft on the inside and they stretch so seals the car well from dust etc.
