Description
• Rare Jaguar model • Manual transmission • 4.2-litre engine and other upgrades • Purchased by Michael Turner in 2001 • Resprayed and undersealed in 2003 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 Mark 2s by virtue of their Ambla upholstery (leather was now an option), slimmer bumpers and the absence of built-in fog lamps.
Tested by Autosport magazine in 1968, an overdrive-equipped 340 reached 124mph, a figure only bettered marginally by the deleted 3.8-litre Mark 2.
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.
