Carcoon is the correct name. You can buy them online at www.carcoon.co.uk

I love this car.

My mates Aston lives in a car coon and when he went to australia for 14 months, upon his return, the Aston was mint. Not a single spec of dust on it.

They are a brilliant invention and a must for someone storing a car properly.

 

[Heez]

Oh my...

Favourite car on here.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Wish I had the space to keep my Williams in one of them. RS looks great As always Marc.

You buy the carcoon and i will store it for you BUT i cant tell you where its kept as its away in a secret wee place

 

[Stu.]

Now thats Commitment! Is such an epic car! Do you need to keep blowing it up or does it hold the air for a while?

 

[MarcB]

Its got two small filters with fans that blow a constant air flow into it and it keeps it up, there is a air flow system in it where you open the back up and it cause a flow system where it takes all the condensation and dampness out so your car is damp and dust free.

 

[Matt W]

Wow. I would love to drive that through a muddy field.

 

[Jaff.]

My mate has the same shape escort at this. He uses his for rallying thou and is in much worse shape than this one lol.

we painted it the other day in fact

 

[MarcB]

Mines has never been painted and wont be getting painted LOL

 

[Richyy182]

Nice RS - that is amazing

 

[.Kev.]

Epic car mate, needs an OEM Ford tape player though.

Got that in a box along with all the OE RS wheels

 

[Jaff.]

Lol like I said, used for rallying and is in a sorry state. The 2 cars are worlds apart

 

[ColinG]

Do these carcoons fit inside a double garage when blown up?

 

[.GAZ.]

Favourite car on here tbh.

Do you leave windows open mate, or do you keep the car sealed up when it's in there? I have no idea how these carcoon work you see, great products

 

[.GAZ.]

Ali keeps his V6 in one, has done for years.

 

[ColinG]

I want one for mine, definately gonna order one up just need to know sizes

 

[guysy]

Lovely condition.

So the cacoon fans are on 24/7? Just out of interest is that costly or just a few quid?

 

[.GAZ.]

Drop Ali a PM dude, sure he'd be glad to help.

 

[Matt Cup]

Epic!

I'm also surprised how cheap those carcoons are, I thought they'd be silly money but the seem quite reasonable!

 

[ColinG]

I've text Ali but assuming its size 2 for a Clio it's £305 , and seemingly if left on all the time costs no more than £15 a year to run!

Its manly for the dust I'm wanting one as my garage is pretty damp free

 

[Christopher]

I don't get the car... but hats off for the commitment. Such a minter!

 

[.GAZ.]

You're too young IIRC..

 

[Christopher]

Lol! I'm only two years younger than you!

I'm not getting into it. Everyone goes bananas.

If it was a Mk1 Mexico, you'd have a point.

 

[.GAZ.]

2 years is plenty...

 

[Munson]

That's awesome.

By the way, surely leaving it in there for six months is going to serious f**k your tyres up?

 

[Herr Flick]

How much is that worth? I paid £1800 for my old RS a few years ago. Lol

 

[HANDSOME RICH]

That's mint!! You can't beat an old Rs.

 

[MarcB]

In time this will be as good and as mint as an MK1 Mexico, it takes time and things so the better I keep this now the longer it will last and become an icon.

the car has an agreed value of £8000 on it so no matter what happens to it that what I get.

The car will be opened roughly once a month and started up and driven down to the house and back up (around 1/4 of a mile)
The fluids and tyres get all checked during this time.

The carcoons come in different sizes and I have seen one in a small single garage, the fans stay on 24/7 and its penny's to run a year.
it also has a battery conditioner so it pays back itself with not having to buy a battery every year.
The bonnet is open and the windows are down about 5mm but as it has the air flow system you don't need to do this as that clears the dampness and moisture.

No dust or dirt can get into the carcoon as it has big air like filters on the front.

Here is the sizes of carcoons you can get.

Mint is that.. The only Ford I've seen without rusty door hinges.

 

[.GAZ.]

It's only 24c IIRC.

 

[Munson]

It's only 24c IIRC.

I meant with regard to damaging the tyre casing through flat spotting, but I guess it's not a problem if the car gets driven once a month. Higher pressures will also help.

 

[ColinG]

What size is your one Marc? Would a Clio v6 fit in it and in a garage?

im thinking size 2 from the website... Which shows a 911 inside one
