And it&rsquo;s even more astonishing when you find it buried beneath your garden.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just ask the Ward family. In 2018, while renovating their new property on the Channel Island of Guernsey, the Wards unearthed a 1949 Daimler Consort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Discovered 1949 Daimler Consort buried in garden\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZpmqR21wJDU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the mostly-intact Ford found by Brayshaw, there wasn&rsquo;t much left of the vintage Consort&mdash;only parts of the chassis and engine remained.

According to the original article from the L.A.

Afterward, he hired professionals to restore the car completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Jalopnik story debuted in 2012, Howard was still driving his legendary 1974 Ferrari Dino.
