An ultra-rare classic car left gathering dust in a barn for 40 years has sold for $83,505.63.
A 1934 ‘Crossley Streamline’ car – one of only two in existence – was unearthed in a barn in Cambridgeshire.
Despite its battered condition and lack of two wheels, the stunning motor sparked a global bidding war when it went under the hammer.
It eventually sold for $83,505.63 at online auctioneers Humbert & Ellis Ltd.
Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert said, “This car has attracted worldwide interest for sheer rarity value.
“There is something of the airship of this car being a teardrop design and over 18 feet long.”
Bids opened at $673.43, but rapidly rose with more than 100 bids from eight international buyers.
