Just put the car into a carcoon. Had one in the garage that i use to put an old MGBGT in a few years ago. Just fitted in, all be it a very tight fit.
Found that last year the chassis got very damp with condensation in the garage, and so thought i would try the carcoon this year.
Anybody else use one?

A dehumidifier and heater on a frost setting is another idea, but you are 'treating' the entire garage doing this.
The chap who bought my Chimaera 520 keeps it in a Carcoon, and the discs are still shiny when it comes out in the spring.

Mines tucked away for winter now, on axles stands, in a CarCoon and in a de-humidified garage.

Can't be too careful

Hi Alex, how are you getting on with the car? are you still enjoying it
I must admit that i do miss the open top, the coupe is fantastic, but I do miss that fresh air buzz that you get. You cannot hear peoples comments either in the coupe. It always use to make me smile, people are unaware that you can hear what they are saying, when driving through town, especially small kids

Seen the picture of it on the Tamora Register, still looks fantastic, but then I did spec it!!

And very nicely you specced it indeed

Yup, still feels special every time I go to get in and drive the car.

Dream Machines have been very good at sorting a few niggles out for me, hoping they're mostly sorted now so can just concentrate on enjoying the car
