Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Daughter uncovers rare British car left untouched in her late father's barn for 30 years
Caption:
A rare British car that sat untouched in a barn for over 30 years has come out of hiding with its original paperwork still intact. A daughter discovered the rare 1969 Jensen FF after her father's passing. One of fewer than 200 ever built, it hasn't turned a wheel since the early 1990s and remains unrestored, unmodified and remarkably original. Ordered new in Mist Grey with black upholstery, it cost £5,600 in 1969 - around £113,000 today. The car covered 60,000 miles with its original owner before being laid up after his death, and has stayed in the same family ever since. It still retains matching numbers, original keys, handbooks, service records and even the original sales invoice. Launched in 1966, the Jensen FF was the world's first production performance car with four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes. Now the extraordinary time-capsule example is heading to auction with Iconic Auctioneers.
