A man bought an old farmhouse to demolish, started tearing down the barn, and uncovered one of the world’s most valuable items

While purchasing a farm, Mark Benton stumbled upon a rare 1960 Jaguar Mark 2 sedan tucked away in a barn. Famous for its style and performance, the car’s presence in Iowa was a surprise, as most of these vehicles remained in England. Despite years of being forgotten, it was still in remarkable condition.

Inside, Mark discovered paperwork indicating it was last registered in 1983. Aware of its rarity, he speculated it could be worth several hundred thousand dollars at auction. This find highlights the enduring allure of classic cars and the hidden gems that can appear in the most unexpected locations.
