I'm working on the possibility of more color choices for the 914 Umbrella Cover. I'll find out more in a few days, but these are the possible color choices. If it looks like a go in limited number of some of the colors, I may need a commitment if you want to get one. It's all going to depend on quantity and cost.

As some of you may know I'm in the process of moving, so I'm trying to do this with my current contractor for sewing, who's been working with me since day one on these.

If I had a little more tech savvy, I could probably get the poll questions to line up with the pics

I used one (Oscar's) during the WCR to keep the car cooler in the sun. Works great.

I'm ready to buy one when you get a batch ready. My preference would be a lighter color as that would seem to be better at keeping the interior cooler than black. So I guess I would prefer the charcoal, grey or khaki maybe in that order. -John

As a umbrella cover owner, my goal was material over color. Very satisfied with the thick khaki cover that I use only occasionally, but very glad I have one. Great when traveling, gives a little privacy security when left parked overnight.

I've got a '91 Targa, so I'm looking at getting a couple made for those. I had a few made years ago, and my pattern got thrown out in error. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hey Perry! As always, thanks for a great product. Any chance you will ever sell the old material again? It used to be like a more rubbery material, if I remember correctly?

That's the tarpaulin material I used for a few years. It's more durable, but it's not as supple, and harder to work with. To be honest it's the least favorite material I've used.

Today is the last day to pre-order in the color of your choice. Follow the link. It'll probably be a few months before I get another batch made, due to my move.
