This week a 1953 Jaguar C-type that was bought for just £635 in 1963 smashed auction estimates to sell for an incredible £5,706,017 in Monaco. It had been with the same family for all that time, and aside from fitting safety features like braided brake lines and seatbelts had remained completely unmodified and unrestored.
Take a closer look with the fantastic photographs courtesy of Bonhams.
