I think your valuation is about right, as ive been looking at them in the classifieds. Possibly its a bit high with that millage.
Anyway, realisticly, you have to get rid off the car. I wouldn't want to keep driving it. your just going to be gambling with electrical faults.
best bet is to strip t your self, but this involves time/money/space which you might not have.
If i was buying a car to strip, say as a donor or just to sell on parts, a water damaged one would be the last resort. Bt your brother wont be driving on the beach anytime soon though.

I need some PH advice. Our Range Rover has been written off, it drowned.
My brother took it on the beach at night and got it stuck in sand and then the tide quickly started coming in. To cut a long story short, it spent the night underwater!
The Land Rover garage has told us it is a write off, it won't ever work again. We aren't claiming through insurance (for various reasons). What should we do with the car? At the moment it is stuck at the dealers (after the recovery truck dropped it off there).
What are the options now? Crush it, sell it for scrap/parts? Any advice appreciated.
Here are some photos of it getting pulled out, the morning after..

As above, I would say that the best option would be to clean-up and sell seats/wheels/other parts.
Failing not wanting to do that, I would get it valeted (yes really), in a garage with a dehumidifier for a week or so, polished up and stick it on ebay.
Does it actually start?

Wash it, make it run, put it in an auction. Job done. But hey it's ONLY 10k anyway!
This is the best option of finances versus hassle. A running, clean version chucked through an auction would make £5k easy even if it sounded like a dog. It's a diesel engine so it should run again.Can't expect you stereo will have held your presets though
