A 1963 Jaguar E-type Series 1 discovered in a garden in Surrey realised £62,000 ($88,593) at Coy's Spring Classics sale on March 8.

The car formerly belonged to Ivor Arbiter, the graphic designer who created The Beatles' logo.
It spent well over 30 years outside, but is in original condition - making it extremely valuable.
James Good, a spokesman for Coy's, told the MailOnline: "This wonderful Series 1, 3.8 E-Type is in original condition, with matching numbers and has never been restored.
"The car needs a total restoration but it has all the ingredients to make a superb car - this is a true rarity.'
