Worth £15k in mint condition allegedly. I'm not sure why you'd mention that, unless mint condition now means "sat at the bottom of a lake for 20 years".

I'd say that's good advertising for Ford anti rust treatment ! It clearly worked

There's a very slow oxidising process underwater.

My first thought on seeing that photo (on the article) was, "Knight Rider."

I wonder if that bullseye on the windscreen means it hit someone and was then dumped and reported stolen?

With no damage to the front or bonnet Dr Watson? 🙂

looks more like damage from the inflatable bags inside trying to burst their way out through the roof!

Sadly I've seen a number of cars with damaged windscreens and no grille bonnet damage. They didn;t exactly do NCAP pedestrian crumple zones in those days, either.

Just idle speculation, anyway.

Discovered during a routine weed check ? Routine, as in they only do it every 20 (or more) years ?

How often do you check the weeds in your boating lake ?

daily obviously

Police said they would attempt to trace the original owner
and charge them a recovery and storage fee 😉

A family of eels? But were they alloy eels or steel eels

In true STW fashion it will belong to the insurance company anyway.
