I don't know the measurements off the top of my head but there are a couple of companies selling them for the Cobra. Unless there is something in particular you are looking for, you could get one already the correct size. Most generic for a small car fit OK, Miata covers as well including the cockpit cover. But like I mentioned, there are companies that make them for cobras.

I have one of the flannel ones from the finish line...... nice. Also a generic three layer job for outside. Works fine.

Blu,

I agree with Rick. Get a nice form fitting flannel cover from Finishline or Tony Branda. Then buy a cheapo, generic "rain proof" cover in the smallest size they sell at any auto parts store. Put it over the flannel cover, and it works well for those days you get caught in the rain.

Sorry, but I am not a fan of the flannel lined covers[V]
Tell you why, they have a tendency to pick up dirt and they keep the stuff in the flannel and it will be abrasive against the paint.
Califonia Car Covers has a complete line of covers and you don't need measurements. Tell them either FIA or 427 Cobra and they have you covered[^]. Yes they have the flannel if you want it. I use one of their covers (Superweave) that is like a nylon but it is 100% dust proof, light weight, washable, and breathable. This is the best cover they make and they are not cheap but neither is your car;),they run around 300.00. Have had the other covers on motorcycles and my Cobra and sold them and upgraded. Wish I would have spent the extra bucks the first time:(. They have a web site, and probably over 50% of the Street Rodders use their stuff. www.calcarcover.com 800-4235525
