Decades ago a mate of my brothers had a Ruby. At the local wide sand beach it was common to drive through a stream outlet, normally 3 inches or less deep. But there had been a fresh and a deep channel had formed....
The front end did not float. Did not improve the main bearings.
On flooded roads moderns can be a danger as are floated away by very modest flows.
I am connected with the local Jowett club. A localised severe downpour resulted in a Jupiter going way under. A lot of work expended sorting it but the insurance co deregistered it. As years ago the car had been converted to complete Vanguard front end and back again the "engineering" renders chance of getting it back on the road slim.
Another member had 6 cars go under including a nice Javelin, Vaux VX4/90, 1930 Chev 2 str roadster, and a small Edwardian veteran. A cause of considerable distress.
As RR observes, quite apart from the computer itseld the myriad tiny electrical connections, relalys etc render it near impossible to sort. Nothing comes apart easily.
