Stolen in the fall of 1963, this Jag was finally found 50 years later, under a workbench in Connecticut, without the body. Last month at Bonham’s Greenwich Concours d’Elegance Auction, they sold it for 12k

This belonged to a young guy who left it at home when he went to college, and it was stolen while he was at school... and only just turned up.

The parts that can be traced were left here, under the work bench... the body, seats, etc that are missing, went to someone willing to steal a car in order to get them
