Air Con in a classic car, is there a solution ?
Discussion
Just curious,
My Marcos is bearable but not very comfortable in really hot weather around town and on motorways a little noisy with the windows down so wondering about air con.
I have done a search on this forum but did not find anything relevant.
Has anybody done any research on fitting a air con unit that actually works in their Classic car using either a after market kit sold by the usual kit car suppliers or removed one from a eurobox and squeezed it in their car, what do TVR use ?
Not looking to spend a fortune but if there is a easy option then well worth considering,

Hi,
Thanks for the replies, i have already doubled up on the Dynamat which does help a lot as originally i was running the car without interior and the transmission tunnel is now a lot cooler but with a 5.0V8 (Rover) just inches away from you and a large sloping windscreen the cabin just gets so hot in the afternoon sun, not a problem on shady days and cool summer evenings but as the car is laid up in the winter i just want to get the most out of it during the summer months.
As for manning up, getting out of a car with a soaking sweaty shirt is not really a look i try to go for,

P..S a couple of photo's for those who may be interested.
