Rec's on good foul weather car covers?

I tried to put my new B-GT in the garage today and I got it in there at the expense of some rough treatment to the exhaust system. The lip is too steep for the low clearance! (Old house). So, I may need to keep the B outside. As Winter draws closer, does anyone recommend a good cover? Is the one in Victoria British good for a Winter? Any other advice re: this situation, short of repaving my driveway?
 
I tried the wood planks, didn't work (used 2x10's). I could fill it in with gravel/rock I suppose, too, that make work better.
 
I have a LARGE dip that I have to contend with. The aluminum ramps I saw topped out at 500 pounds. I made these with 2” square tube and 3/16” plate. I might have to add a center support. I’ll test it with my truck before the Healey goes down it. I think you’ll be happier finding a way to get the car in the garage instead of a car cover.
