A classic car collection has sold for an eye-watering figure at auction after languishing in an abandoned barn for 50 years.
The cars, including three 1970 Jaguar E types and a 1957 Ace Bristol, were found by Guy Snelling who works at Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn.
He used a chainsaw and forklift to remove obstacles, unearthing a collection of vintage cars that had been balanced on top of one another among other scraps and vehicle parts.
The vehicles were put up for auction with a guide price of £200,000 but have now been sold for £358,908.
Mr Snelling said: "It's great that all the cars will be restored and should end up back on the roads - although some may need some more work to restore them to their former glory than others.
"It was a great atmosphere and a fantastic weekend over the two days we held the auction, it is really terrific that we sold them for more than we estimated.

"I think people were so interested in this particular auction because of the history of the cars and each one has a story behind them.
"After all the work we did to extract and transport the cars, to see them find new homes gives me a huge deal of satisfaction."
Two of the ACs sold for more than £100,000, with the one that belonged to racing driver Betty Haig in the 1960s selling for £156,600.
The other Ace and one of the Jaguars both sold for £30,000, with the other two Jaguars being sold for £11,232 and £6,696.
Although the motors need freshening up, Mr Snelling believes the cars could be collectively worth almost one million pounds once restored.
