Mark Benton was in search of a location to establish his own production facility when he stumbled upon a small farm on the outskirts of town.

Intrigued by the property, he decided to explore it further before making any alterations.

To his astonishment, upon opening an abandoned section of the property, he discovered a vintage black 1959 Jaguar Mark 2.

This unexpected find was remarkable, considering that the Mark 2 is renowned as one of the rarest and most coveted cars globally, particularly prized for its association with the sports car era of the time.

Despite the farm’s less than ideal condition in America, the car’s exterior remained remarkably preserved.

Further investigation revealed documentation indicating that the Jaguar had last been registered in 1983.

Benton subsequently decided to auction the rare car, expecting to fetch a substantial sum, potentially in the range of several hundred thousand dollars.
