Outdoor Car Cover

Used carcoon on older MG few years ago. v good in terms of airflow., etc. Outside just make sure it is secured to reflect your locations winds.

I had a carcoon they are good in sheltered areas but will tear if it gets windy....and they are twice the cost of a temporary tent garage. We have 2 here in the UK they are half the price of a carcoon a lot easier to put the car in and can stand windy conditions.
I'd venture to say that they are better than a car port and can be built in about 2 hours if you are on your own.... Fantastic!
Oh yes ours are made by 'Clark' and are sold via Machine Mart here in the UK, cost is about 270 euros.

 

Did a quick search since I need one occasionally for another car, not the Mondial. Seems interesting, no idea if this is any good or not. Just for information.

Yes anything like that is always better than an actual car cover.

 

Mauro- How are the winters where you are located in Italy? Has the Mondial already been through a winter or two using the breathable car cover? I'm just wondering how it held up as far as corrosion and/or rust are concerned. Even with something like a carcoon it seems there would be condensation on the sheet metal if the temperatures drop low enough.

 

I have a company that manufacturers tailor made car covers just in case you are interested, let me know.

 

I do use a fully tailored car cover on our Alfa Spider. I only have a single garage and my Ferrari has that.
The problem with car covers IMO are as follows..
1. You must make sure the car is clean before putting on the cover.
2. You do still get a level of condensation under the cover.
3. They do not dehumidify the air.

1, Won't be an issue for you as I guess (like me now) you will only use it in the winter. Whilst my Alfa is available in the winter because we have salt on the roads I won't use it unless forced to (problem with my daily).

When I take the cover off after winter I have condensation on the paintwork and I do get some micro blistering where a previous repair was not 'cured' prior to paint (so I am told). These do disappear once the car dries out.

The chassis and internal components are subject to damp air. I think the best option is a Carcoon but I have no experience of outdoor Carcoons. I did have an indoor one but my garage is so small it became unusable so I now just dehumidify my Ferrari.

That fold-away car cover listed above looks good. I search on ebay for perambulator type covers from time to time which are the same as this.

My 'Specialised' (company name) car cover actually delaminated in a cold winter we had, just after the warranty expired. I now have to put another cover over the fitted one

As the Alfa is on my drive (no access to the rear of the house by car ) I am very careful about what I put the car in. A Carcoon would just look stupid and may even annoy neighbours. I think the fold-away cover (Perambulator) is my best option.

 

What make is that parambulator? Think I'll get one too.
