Take the dimensions of the Nova and check for an appropriate Carcoon.

FFS. I'm sure you're here to take the piss out of yourself.

buy a decent sized one, so that when you get rid of the nova, something bigger will fit.

I could be wrong but I think Keith's is size 3? I wanted the best fit possible and George at carcoon made me a custom one for the same price which I later sold to Dec Burke for his sport. Maybe drop him a pm as he may sell it with the car being gone etc. ;)

Tbh I cant remember exactly fella..... circa £400 I think? You'd be best contacting George and telling him exactly what you want as their are various options. I went for a double skinned outdoor one which I intended to use in the garage but wanted more protection. Keith however opted for the single skin indoor option. Its all down to personal preferance really.

Is there any point in having one if you have a dry garage ?

I think(read that as unsure) that they reduce/remove moisture in the air so even in a dry garage would make a diffrence.

I bought an outdoor version for the Capri, a large one, had it over 10 years now.

They do work really well inside the garage, but be warned: in my experience they do not perform well at all outside. They may have modified it since, but on mine the fans do not fit well into the cloth, and the connectors are poor, and on windy days the connectors drop out, the thing deflates, and a big, baggy, heavy cover then blows and flaps loosly all over your paintwork.

Also mine leaked badly- I was horrified to find mine soaking wet inside after around 3 months outside, resulting in corroded discs, cam cover and under bonnet clips on my old Nova, which was stored inside whilst moving house.

They also hate frost and snow.

I woul still recommend one though, just as long as they are kept inside or very well sheltered.
