Movers came to haul away some stuff for donation, so I had to vacate the garage. It was raining quite hard.
The mistress got to slum it outside for a few hours, so she needs a few scanty pieces of outerwear to uh......stay dry.

Door leaks?

Yep, but just the driver’s side.

Does it need a door seal or is it a bigger issue?

It needs a door seal but this will keep happening. Old Ferraris’ weather stripping design is awful, basically an uneven door/window shut line onto a perfectly even door frame seal. It may have worked when the car was new, but it’s a recipe for eventual leaks as rubber ages and hardens.
It’s really a fair-weather car anyway.

Amazingly, my ‘91 Alfa Spider is watertight even when parked or driven in fairly heavy rain. It does struggle a tiny bit in automated car washes, names on the top trailing edge of the doors where door meets body meets window meets cloth top.
