Description

How great does this look? This is a 1968 Jaguar Mk.II 340 Manual/Overdrive, UK Supplied RHD, finished in Opalescent Gunmetal with Red Interior. This is a lovely older restoration showing a believed genuine 90k Miles from new with an amazing and extensive service history going back to new!

Introduced in September 1967, the 2.4-litre 240 and 3.4-litre 340 were the ultimate developments of the immensely successful Jaguar Mark 2, sports saloon, which had set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. Intended as new base models, the pair were barely distinguishable from each other, and differed from the final Mk2s by virtue of their Ambla upholstery (leather was now an option), slimmer bumpers and the absence of built-in fog lamps. Only the 240 differed significantly from its 2.4-litre Mark 2 predecessor, gaining a more-powerful version of the classic six-cylinder XK engine. Tested by Autosport magazine in 1968, an overdrive-equipped 340 reached 124mph, a figure only bettered marginally by the deleted 3.8-litre Mk2. Although the 240 lasted - briefly - into the XJ6 era, the 340 was axed on the latter's introduction in September 1968 and thus is one of the rarest of the Jaguar Mark 2 family.

Our car has been with the previous owner for 8 years but the entire history is known from new, The car was bought new from the Jaguar dealer in Brighton buy the London and Edinburgh Life Assurance Company for the use of a Mr. Broom, a director of said firm. He retired in 1971 and as part of his retirement package, purchased the car from the Company and registered in his name. Mr. Broom died in 1994 and left the Jaguar to his Niece. The extensive history file documents every year of this cars life! In 1987 the car had an engine rebuild, at 77k Miles, and was sold by the E-Type Centre in 2000 to a previous owner. It would take a week to read through every invoice and document with the car!

We have just serviced the car and spent £1.5k getting her ready for use after a period in storage. The car was restored many years ago and is a llittle scruffy in detail but has a fantastic aged feeling set off by the black painted Wire Wheels! This is a lovely car available at a very good price for a 340 Manual car!
