Some of you might recall that the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, buried a Plymouth Belvedere in a leaky concrete box for 50 years, and it came out somewhat rusty.

Here's what happens if you just keep it in a garage for 50 years.

I suspect it would have been too big to fit in a 1950s UK garage. But I've not found garages here to be particularly damp and leaky.

If they're leaky, it's good if they're also draughty. :-)

My garage currently leaks, and this seems not to have had an adverse effect on the contents yet, although I'm trying to arrange to have it fixed.

*laughs*, true on the first point.
They don't have to be leaky. The UK climate is a lot more variable across the year than the one in California and while it will not rain inside the garage, there would still be more humidity when it's raining.
