After the rain comes the sun

[TimJM]

I am really starting to like the colour of my Cerbera. In dull light/night it looks almost black but when bright sunlight hits it, it is an emerald green.

You can really see the contrast in the colour in this pic with the sun was just coming out this morning after two days of light and heavy rain:


The plan for the car is to be an everyday driver (unless I have to sell to fund my other project) so it is living out the garage for now to see if it has any water ingress. The door seals look in good condition and the windows shut nice and tight so I am hoping for dry footwells when i check later tonight.

Wouldn't bargain on it...... windscreens leak!

And typically a wet footwell.

So the rain had finally stopped by the time I got home last night. After two days of on/off heavy rain, a day of drizzle and a dry day what did I find?

Looks good from the outside:


And the footwell:


Look at that dust! It is as dry as a nun's .....


I'm not calling a total victory yet as I haven't driven it in rain but for now it seems it doesn't have any water ingress whilst parked up.

That is a FABULOUS effect.

Even after some (...ahem..cough...don't know how far is reasonable to an MOT...) miles of driving and covered in Sahara sand dust it still looks pretty in the sunshine.



Now if I can just get through the emissions test tomorrow all will be well for Burghley.
