The problem with driving it to dry it off is that you pick up dust again which means you can’t do anything more like polishing or waxing as you will damage the paint
Yes, especially in the winter, the lanes round our way have generally got a fair amount of crud on them in bad weather. Wash the car, take it for a drive, and it will end up looking like this:

That picture was actually taken this time last year, Stewart. I washed, polished, and waxed the car, then took it for a quick spin on the way to my MOT test. This was what it looked like when I arrived, after about 12 miles on Gloucestershire back lanes.

I was hoping they would take pity on the Roadster.

What's wrong with a good old fashioned Chamois Leather and a bit of elbow grease.
The Morgan doesn't have that big a surface area after all and I bet it wouldn't take that much longer.

It’s not the surface area Bob, it’s a case of getting all of the water out of the nooks and crannies that are prone to corrosion, of which there are many on a Morgan, wing beading, runner board strips, badges etc..
