Despite being covered with dust to the point of decay, the antique Bentley was still successfully auctioned with a high price.
According to TheSun , a 1935 vintage Bentley was bought new by wealthy Australian businessman Philip Bushell.

The Bentley is for sale at a garage in Shaftesbury, Dorset (UK) and a local farmer James Young has paid £1,050 to own it. After that, the car was stored in the warehouse from 1968 until a storm damaged the roof of the warehouse last year.

Fearing that the car would deteriorate in the open, a family member of James Young decided to put the car up for auction. Surprisingly, the Bentley, which had been abandoned for 50 years in a warehouse, immediately received a lot of attention from classic car enthusiasts, even though it would cost a lot of money to repair it.

In the end, the Bentley was sold for 58,000 pounds . Plus the fees, the car costs a total of 60,000 pounds. Not only that, it is estimated that the new owner will have to spend £ 100,000 to restore it to its former luster.
