Where I live it almost never rains between memorial day and holloween
and 80 degrees is considered o be a very hot day. However during the
winter and early springs months it has been known to rain for weeks at
a time.

Like I said, the TR stays home on rainy days & the Land Rover comes
out. Several ears back I switched to the factory optional headed
windscreens. That completely eliminated windscreen fogging.

Interesting thing about Series Land Rovers. In the owners manual is a
maintenance schedule. If one follows the schedule religiously they are
extremely reliable. There is the reason why Series Land Rovers were
the first vehicles people in much of the world ever saw. Reliability,
simplicity and ruggedness. But in poor condition & not properly
maintained they can be a reliability nightmare.
