AN ICONIC British classic car has been found abandoned by a car enthusiast who says the condition it was left in is 'heartbreaking'.<\/p>\n
YouTuber IMSTOKZE was shocked to discover an E-Type Jaguar in an abandoned barn.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The YouTuber regularly post rare and classic cars that have been abandoned on his channel.<\/p>\n
He admits to his viewers that this is only the 'second E-Type Jag' that he has found on his channel.<\/p>\n
Depending on the condition of a classic E-Type Jaguar Series 1 prices could range from \u00a387,000 – \u00a3190,000.<\/p>\n
It is unclear in the video which series IMSTOKZE found in the barn.<\/p>\n
Jaguar first manufactured the E-Typer series 1 in 1961 and came to an end in June 1974.<\/p>\n The YouTuber said: "I've always dreamt to find an E-Type jag and I found one a few years ago."<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE showed his viewers the current state of the car – it had been left abandoned in a barn.<\/p>\n Inspecting the car he points out where there had been damage and repairs at the front of the car.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n IMSTOKZE said: "I mean look at the state of it.<\/p>\n "That's all body filler that is so it's had a smash here at some point and been repaired.<\/p>\n "But subsequently it's all just fell out."<\/p>\n The Jaguar E-Type's iconic grill and logo at the front of the car was missing.<\/p>\n The car's headlights and indicators at the front of the car were still intact.<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE proceeded to show his viewers the inside of the car where he showed the mileage which was under 32,000 miles.<\/p>\n The car still had its luggage rack attached to it but inside the boot, the effects of abandonment were clear to see.<\/p>\n Showing the inside of the car and boot IMSTOKZE said: "My goodness.<\/p>\n "Unreal – absolutely unreal look how rotten she is." <\/p>\n He later showed his subscribers the state of the wheels on the car.<\/p>\n The car enthusiast said: "Those wheels are dead, aren't they?"<\/p>\n Audiobly shocked at the state of the Jaguar IMSTOKZE said: "God I'm shaking so much I don't even know why."<\/p>\n Inside the rusty E-Type Jaguar, all the gauges and instruments could be seen 'falling apart' and just left 'hanging off'.<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE said: "Fantastic absolutely fantastic – well it's a bit of both, isn't it.<\/p>\n "Its absolutely heartbreaking but it's still a sight to be seen."<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE discovered from a paper road tax disc that it was last on the road in 1978.<\/p>\n The YouTuber also lifted the bonnet to see what state the engine was in.<\/p>\n In the video, he says: "There's underneath the engine.<\/p>\n "She's all still there but the front end of this is falling apart there like so we got to be really careful."<\/p>\n On further inspection of the engine, the classic car enthusiast found oil still in the motor after checking 'the dipstick'.<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE was in awe of the design of the E-Type Jaguars engine.<\/p>\n He said: "Awesome straight six engine.<\/p>\n "Absolutely mesmerising – I'm just so blown away that this thing is stillhere I really am."<\/p>\n He added: "Jaguar – just absolutely unreal."<\/p>\n After IMSTOKZE finished showing the different parts of the rusty Jag he still couldn't believe what he had found.<\/p>\n He said to his viewers: "Can you believe that there are such cars like this that still exist – because I certainly don't."<\/p>\n "It's shocking that there are cars still like this that are still laid up and not rescued."<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE added: "I mean I'm not fully clued up about E-Type Jaguars but I do know that they're in my opinion one of the most beautiful cars ever made.<\/p>\n "And here it sits unloved, uncared for, lost and forgotten."<\/p>\n "I say the word heartbreaking a lot but this here – is heartbreaking."<\/p>\n The car enthusiast found the abandoned Jaguar along with a collection of rusty classic cars collecting dust in that garage.<\/p>\n The YouTuber said that he was worried about finding the Jag as it took him over four hours to reach the location.<\/p>\n Upon arriving he found what appeared to be a new skip where he assumed the cars would be going.<\/p>\n However, the YouTuber who usually multiple classic cars in his videos decided to only focus on the Jag as he felt it 'deserved' its own video.<\/p>\n He went on to say: "I mean just look at the bumper it's completely disintegrated – it's heartbreaking."<\/p>\n The Jaguar's steering wheel and radio player were still in decent condition in stark contrast to the rest of the car.<\/p>\n IMSTOKZE said: "If you're thinking is it worth it, the 4 hours and 37 minutes.<\/p>\n "Yes, it is certainly – certainly worth it." <\/p>\n It's important to note that IMSTOKZE was trespassing on private property and the owner of the barn and\/or the car are legally entitled to do whatever they wish with their property.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LIGHTS OUT\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
