Another outdoor Carcoon user here.... Have 3 of them in use at the moment!! They last about 6 years used full time. I work on the principal that it's £100 per year. Putting the car in dry indoor storage would cost me at least £150 a month. If I know a carcoon is getting towards "end-of-life" I'll keep an eye on FB Marketplace and the like. I've picked up unopened (box still in shrink wrap) 2nd hand ones in the past which gives a useful saving. 2nd hand prices will be firming up now as we head into autumn. Carcoon themselves used to be great to deal with, the last couple of years, they've become an unresponsive PITA. DT don't generally keep stock and order from Carcoon when they make a sale, you can end up with quite a wait for delivery.

Welcome. Nice looking car. 👍

Welcome that's a great looking car is that the one off ebay if so good spec.

Now sold

Unless you are bringing a Jet car you will be fine at 105db lol.

I haven't watched soaps for almost 20 years. Too many better options these days.

I didn't know myself at the time, im impulsive lol

Size 3 L for Westfield especialy current carcoon - changed design with larger-highier located zip for less spine bend "floor " section . But needs more room for car to roll in. Carcoon is fine re keeping car dry and rust free ! Great ! but - after few years and 3 Carcoons using - zipper is really poor. Teeths fall out so zipping and unzipping is not ...comfortable :) Outer layer (outdoor versions ) degrade after few years and tear apart. I am now testing chinesse version for part of price (1(3 approx with shopping of carcoon , not metion adding customs from UK.. and possibile to order size to one cm, customable window, colour, eyelets to support etc. Must say its much louder than carcoon small fans (easy to fix - removing one of 2 large fans in CH version and using lover voltage .) also not included bartery charger . And other design - not 2 layers outside (seems to work anyway with air flow Inside looking at brake discs, and other material - heavy and thick. But - only few months is my experience . No winter yet. Winter with snow and when minus 20-30 deg will tell if it is any good . Why Carcoon use over the years that really poor annoing zipper ! ?

You didn't mention you were in the market for a Westy when you did my exhaust cat recently, Danny! That Megablade looks a nice piece 👌

A westie doesn't fit in the size 2 believe it or not mines size 3 L

I’ve been a Westfield fan for very many years having gone to the factory very many years ago with my brother in law to collect his pre litigation 7 kit. I’ve watched the car being built and over the years morphing into a track orientated vehicle. Over a few beers on the weekend the potential sale of the weapon was muted so I thought why not buy it and then decide what to do with it. Offer accepted and it looks like I’ll soon be a Westfield owner hoping that many on here will be able to assist in my plans for it.

What a waste of a MK2 Jaguar!

Cheers guys!

My wife loves corra,I'd love to see kev go over a cliff in a MK2 jaguar. And I'd love to see Roys cafe take a 10 magga ton warhead .

Eagle eyes

I think the market is a bit flat. But nothing wrong with the advert, the car or the price in my view! I am surprised it hasn’t sold - maybe try expanding the audience on other platforms?

Can anyone please comment on why they think this isn't moving? Have I said something in the Ad that looks wrong? Is it over-priced? Wrong time of year? Something else? This is an amazing car, drives like a dream, has no faults, needs no work, has year's MOT, I could go on. Thanks.

Possibly cheaper if you order direct from Carcoon?
