[TR] Portable garage

Hi, Bill,

I understand your dilemma. Years ago before I retired from the BMIHT Museum, 
the curator was having a similar difficulty keeping the many prototype cars in 
the reserve collection free from rust and damp. When not on display they were 
locked in a nearby barn. He solved the problem by buying things called CarCoons 
and Iâ??m sure similar examples must surely exist in the US. The carcoon is an 
inflatable plastic tent into which you drive the car and seal it in. The 
shelter is waterproof and has a small, low voltage dehumidifier to ensure damp 
and moisture are not admitted. I think BMIHT bought about 12 examples and added 
to that number when the Jaguar Daimler collection arrived and before a new 
facility was built to house them. Have a look at www.carcoon.com These things 
arenâ??t expensive and certainly far less than a body shop would charge to get 
rid of rust damage.
