I'm happy with the cover that I bought from Big Sky Car Cover Outlet
about 3 years ago.  They are in famous Poulson, Montana...no speed
limit...no tax. 
I got one made of Evolution IV semi-fitted for my Spider with storage
bag, cable and lock for about $125 complete.  It's a little bulky, but is
I use it mostly inside the garage to protect me from the neighbor's cats.
 I say "me" because then I don't have to get out the oxyacetylene torch
for the cats (Flame suit on).
Try (800) 221-4875.  They also had good prices on floor mats for the
Spider.  (no financial interest, blah blah)  (They didn't even buy an
NWARC calendar from me this year  :*)

I can't believe that I beat everybody to the punch on this one.  There is
a nice article by Tom Sahines available in the St. Louis AROC i saluti
site at Http:///catenary.com/victor/isaluti.  Go there and follow your
mouse to the article.

And finally:
to Ben looking for 164 Buying advice.

While I certainly don't have the technical background to give Ben advice
on this particular vehicle, I would second the suggestion that he keep
looking.  I might also suggest that he ask our One Lap Friend Bill
Harkell to keep his eye open in  the Tampa area for a reasonable car. 
With Bill's starting the new job, he may have access to something that
Ben might be looking for.  Try Bill at billharkell@domain.elided
