The former Wappenbury, England, estate of Sir William Lyons — who cofounded Jaguar Cars with William Walmsley in 1922 — is up for sale for $9.8 million.
Lyons died in 1985, and although its current owners, Godfrey and Marie Hall, didn't buy the property until 2007, they recently told the Wall Street Journal, "The layout of the house is exactly the same as when Sir William had it, as it was in very good condition when we bought it. All we've done is upgrade some of the fittings and put in new bathroom suites."
Let's take a look inside the 329-acre estate, which has luxurious carpeting, decadent drapes, and dark wood paneling.

The property, measuring at 329.47 acres, is made up of five different lots only half an hour from the Jaguar factory. Lyons would have every prototype delivered to the house so that he could get his wife Greta's final opinion before production.
A swimming pool, two tennis courts, formal gardens, and green houses surround the home.
The 12,195-square-foot country house dates back to late Victorian era.
