There’s something truly special about seeing a classic car in its element—and our recent photoshoot with the 1973 Jensen Healey was exactly that. Shot against a backdrop of rolling countryside and industrial charm, this British roadster was a picture of vintage elegance, blending 1970s engineering with timeless design.
At UK Custom Car Covers, we know how important it is to protect vehicles like the Jensen Healey. These are more than cars—they're preserved pieces of motoring history. That's why this shoot wasn’t just about showcasing the Healey’s curves and chrome. It was also a chance to highlight our tailored indoor and outdoor car covers that keep classic cars in pristine condition year-round.
Our Covers in Action
During the shoot, we used our premium indoor and outdoor covers to demonstrate how a perfect fit can enhance not only protection but presentation. Our indoor covers hug the lines of classic cars like the Healey, safeguarding paintwork from dust, scratches, and humidity. For the unpredictable UK weather, our outdoor covers offer multi-layer protection against rain, UV rays, and frost—crucial for any classic car owner without garage space.
We design our covers to be breathable, water-resistant, and stylish. The photoshoot gave us the perfect opportunity to see them in action and confirm just how well they complement a classic silhouette.
