Give me a break. My TR3 never sat at the bottom of a lake, and after the normal oxidation and environmental pressures, still 30% of the body tub was rust. Do note that the car was like this when it went into dry storage in 1984. Furthermore, anyone who knows any farmer knows that they would never let anything of value, especially a British Sportscar, merely go to waste in the fashion described. They'd sell it in a heartbeat before anything got flooded out.
