It really is a fact that April has more showers than any other month, no matter where you are in the UK, so keeping classic cars dry becomes a focus. 

While the rain is great for gardens, it’s no so enjoyable when driving a classic car, unless it’s been fitted with an upgraded, bespoke air conditioning system

A MODERN SOLUTION FOR A CLASSIC PROBLEM

Classic cars have lots of amazing qualities, but foggy windows aren’t one of them. It’s a bugbear for many owners, yet it needn’t be. 

Misty windows are caused when moist air inside the cabin comes into contact with cold windows, meaning a constant airflow is required to demist windows quickly and efficiently. 

This is where the expertise of Clayton Classics can help classic car owners. With over a century of technical innovation in heating systems, our world-class air conditioning systems can help deliver a pleasurable driving experience for classic car owners in the UK, and around the world. 

DON’T LET DRIVING IN THE RAIN DAMPEN YOUR ENTHUSIASM

Have you avoided driving your classic because it’s raining? You shouldn’t have to forgo driving your pride-and-joy because of a spring shower. 

If your windows are fogging up when wet weather appears, then a discreet air conditioning system that fits in seamlessly with the rest of the vehicle will clear windows from mist and offer a clearer vision out of the cabin. 

As well as increased visibility, the constant flow of air will create a comfortable driving experience inside the car whatever the moisture level outside.

OTHER MEASURES FOR KEEPING classic cars DRY

As well as the installation of a bespoke air conditioning system, there are other measures that classic car owners can take to keep their vehicle dry. 

When it’s not being driven, then correct storage can help avoid a build-up of moisture inside the cabin. 

If possible, then keeping your car inside a well-ventilated garage will help avoid corrosion, especially if you can consider using a dehumidifier. A breathable cover is also a sensible option if the car is stored inside or outside. 

When it is being stored, then other easy ways to keep it in top condition include ensuring it is clean, checking fluid levels, and inspecting the tyres – all will help make the classic car ready for when spring arrives.
