Mark Benton found a little farm on the edge of town while looking for a place to set up his production plant.He was intrigued by the property and thought he would investigate it more before making any changes.
He was shocked to see a classic black 1959 Jaguar Mark 2 when he opened an abandoned area of the land.
This was an astonishing discovery, given that the Mark 2 is one of the world’s rarest and most sought-after vehicles, especially because of its connection to the age of sports cars.
The outside of the automobile was astonishingly well-preserved, even if the farm wasn’t in the best of shape when it arrived in America.
Documentation uncovered upon further research showed that the Jaguar had not been registered since 1983.
After that, Benton decided to put the unusual automobile up for auction, hoping to get a good price—possibly several hundred thousand dollars.
