a few minutes later it was blue sky again.
Showery weather is never a problem, nor is driving in situations where you can keep going, the insides never really get wet at all.
But crawling through a town centre at 5mph in the pissing rain is nobody's idea of fun. I prefer to stop and put the hood up just before it starts, sharing the cockpit with a soaking tonneau cover is also no fun.
does that mean that a Morgan interior really can survive a truly Biblical drenching? Or are we talking more "a few drops of rain now and then won't hurt it" kind of thing?
If you can get it thoroughly dried out quickly then no real problem. So going for a drive one day and getting caught in a shower is nothing to worry about. But if you're on a two-week tour and it's raining every day and you can't get it into a garage every night to dry out then get ready for issues. This is where older Morgans really shine. In the days of rubber mats and PVC upholstery it was a doddle, but nowadays it's all expensive leather and carpet and not nearly so easy to dry. This is when you need a warm garage with a dehumidifier.
By far the easiest solution is to understand that there's absolutely nothing wrong with driving a Morgan with the hood up. Much better to do that than to leave the poor thing at home because you don't want to get wet.
