To demolish, Mark Benton was purchasing an old farm. The land was the main thing that fascinated him. The man had the notion to examine the contents of the barn constructed on the outskirts even before to the commencement of work.
Mark was taken aback to witness one of the priciest cars in the world, manufactured in 1959, as the gates creaked open. Jaguar introduced the Mark 2 sedan in this year, which is unusual for the company. The business aimed to attract new customers.
The Jaguar Mark 2 was fitted with the Jaguar XK sports car’s engine, making it one of the fastest cars available at the time. This attractive and representative body was coupled with a potent engine by the designers.
While some sedans were released, the majority of them stayed in their home country of England. That’s why Mark was taken aback when he discovered one of the uncommon Jaguars on a long-abandoned Iowan farm, a place that even its own citizens regard to be somewhat removed from cultural hubs. Considering that the car was kept in a wooden shed for decades, it is incredibly well-preserved.
Additionally, records indicating that the car was last registered in 1983 were discovered in the glove compartment. The vehicle is going to be auctioned off. The buyer anticipates getting at least several hundred thousand dollars in return.

Playground craze leaves 11-year-old boy “looking like an alien” – mom issues warning for parents
no to something that sounds dangerous.
Unfortunately, children are susceptive to peer pressure and the like; even the most intelligent of youngsters can be coerced andfmconvinced to partake in stunts that promise dire consequences.
Just ask the parents of 11-year-old Tyler Broome, who suffered horrific injuries after trying a YouTube craze known as ‘the roundabout of death’.
Yes, the name alone pretty much tells you the salient facts of the matter, but for Tyler it wasn’t so much an incredibly dangerous stunt as a way to show his friends how fearless he was.
The 11-year-old thereafter sustained injuries consistent with those seen in fighter pilots, after bein subjected to extreme gravitational force (G-force).
The craze he participated in – known as the ’roundabout of death’ – sees participants sitting in the middle of a playground roundabout whilst it’s spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
Shortly after the ordeal, Tyler was found unconscious near the roundabout, left with possible damage to his brain and vision.
Extreme force
It’s believed he was subjected to the sort of G-force usually only encountered by pilots and astronauts.
It’s reported that Tyler was at a local park with a friend when they were approached by a group of older teenagers who dared them into the game.
Terrifying ordeal
“I don’t recognise my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. Tyler sat on the roundabout, and the boy who came over was about 17. Tyler doesn’t know him, they are not friends,” his mom Dawn said, per British newspaper The Independent.
“He puts his motorbike on the floor, gets the roundabout spinning at such a speed. When they all stopped, the group just cleared off – it is bullying.”
Dawn claimed that hospital staff had never seen such injuries and had to do research before they were able to begin treating her son.
“The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. They have never seen it before, they are going to make a medical report from it.
“His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this? He doesn’t remember it, he doesn’t remember the detail.”
Parents, please always bear in mind that children are susceptible to trying things we adults would stay well clear of.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to young Tyler and his family. Share this story to spread the warning over an incredibly dangerous game.
