Storie
A man bought an old farmhouse to tear down, began to dismantle the barn and found one of the most expensive things in the world
Mark Benton, while buying a farm, found a rare 1959 Jaguar Mark 2 sedan hidden in a barn. Known for its elegance and performance, the car was an unexpected find in Iowa, as most of these cars stayed in England.
Despite years of neglect, it was well-preserved. Inside, Mark found documents showing it was last registered in 1983. Recognizing its rarity, Mark estimated it could fetch hundreds of thousands at auction.
This discovery underscores the lasting appeal of classic cars and the hidden treasures that can surface in the most unexpected places.
