CarCovers
Avoid generic car covers. The Esprit is a fairly long and wide car so the generic cover you will find will be far too tall, especially if you park your Esprit outside where the wind can "balloon" the cover or create waves in the cover that will knock against your car. You may end up doing more damage than good if you get a car cover with an improper fit.

After doing research (and ordering an one of those generic car covers,) the author was able to find a custom fit Esprit car cover that fits the Esprit (with the rear view mirrors out,) perfectly. You can order the car cover from http://www.CoverSearch.com (although you can't order it via the web, you need to call them,) at 1-877-687-5687. The part number for the 1976-1987 Esprit is #C2839 and are available in the following prices/materials (October 2003 prices US, shipping included):

Material Comparison from CoverSearch:

The author has ordered and verified fit, and it does indeed fit the Lotus perfectly and I couldn't ask for a better car cover. For the record I ordered the Noah material because the car will be sitting outside in the warmer months and garaged in the winter.
