I agree with Brian that driving one up in the rain is fantastic....

 

Except when the eddies coat my specs and the screen on the inside...

Further, the timber frame is better not completely dried out, it is bad for
the joints.

 

Also bad for the joints is jacking on one side; the frame twists.

If the joints are sound, jacking on one side will raise both sides but it
puts a great load on the frame.

 

Jack in the centre of the bottom cross tube at the front and lower onto axle
stands; jack in the centre of the rear top-hat section cross member at the
back, again use axle stands.

 

When washing, I put a large plastic sheet under the bonnet from scuttle to
cowl and after washing the bonnet gather up the sheet so as to contain the
water.  After washing take the car for a blow.  This will also dry out the
discs and prevent the pads sticking on.

 

Driving  solo in the rain with a tonneau cover over the rest of the car is
very enjoyable.  Put on one sidescreen, or not.

Morgan's ...really do not like the wet.

 

Sorry mate, I know you seem to have attracted a fair amount of approbation
with your post, and I don't want to make you feel victimised, but this bit
especially raised my hackles.

 

A car that can't be driven in the wet has been poorly maintained, plain and
simple. Leaks can be fixed, exposed metalwork and wiring can be protected.
There's absolutely no reason why one cannot drive and enjoy one's Morgan in
the rain just as much as in the dry.
