Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Jaguar 340 is a short-lived, right-hand drive model with a manual overdrive transmission. It has a solid body and good mechanicals but needs cosmetic work, making it an ideal project for someone looking to improve its appearance or use it as is.
Condition
5
The car is described as being in good running condition mechanically, but the paintwork would benefit from some tidying and the interior could be improved with some re-lacquering. It was subject to a 'Category N' insurance write-off in August 2023 due to a ‘very mild bump’.

Description
The last evolution of the Mk
II line, the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year.
Visually distinguished by their new slimline front and rear bumpers, they also benefited from sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type's straight port cylinder head design.
Fitted with twin SU carburettors, the 340 model's 3442cc DOHC straight-six was quoted as developing some 210bhp and 215lbft of torque.
Reputedly capable of 120mph in manual guise, the 'compact' Jaguar also boasted four-wheel disc brakes (a defining feature of the entire Mk
II range from 1959 onwards).
Short-lived, just 2,265 right-hand drive specification 340s are thought to have been made.
First registered on the 3 rd October 1968, ‘FBH 30G’ was supplied with a manual overdrive transmission and is an example of one of the very last 3.4 Litre models built.
The documentation has been lost to time, however, the V5C records three former keepers.
