This lovely 1968 Jaguar Mk. II 340 Saloon with the manual and overdrive gearbox, was the subject of a two year complete restoration which was started in 1997. Purchased by the vendor in 2009 when the car had covered 68,132 miles from new, he has added, over the last five years, a further 3,268 miles to the clock. This Mk. II has been fully maintained since the restoration and recent work carried out includes fitting a stainless steel exhaust system and replacing the points, condenser and rotor arm to the distributor. It is finished in blue with a blue Wabesto sunroof and blue leather interior. It is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a file containing old mot test certificates, invoices and photographs. An opportunity to purchase a well sorted, reliable icon which would grace any classic car event.

This 1967 Jaguar 340 saloon is a right-hand-drive model that was acquired by the seller in the UK in 2014 and subsequently imported to the US. Finished in blue over blue leather upholstery, the car features a sliding sunroof, burl wood trim, a push-button AM radio, Smiths instrumentation, 15” wire wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes. Power comes from a 3.4-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission, and work performed in 2024 involved refreshing the fuel system and replacing the brake pads, battery, and engine coolant. This 340 is now offered with a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name, listing it as a 1968 model.

Chrome 15” knock-off wire wheels are retained by two-eared spinners and mounted with 185-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the pads are said to have been replaced in June 2024.

The right-hand-drive cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench that were re-trimmed in blue leather with gray piping under prior ownership. They are joined by color-coordinated door panels and carpets, and burl wood trim accents the dashboard, doors, and window frames. A push-button digital radio is fitted in the factory location, and three-point front seatbelts have been installed.

The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 72k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added under current ownership.

The 3.4-liter inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors and was rated at 210 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque when new. The fuel pump, battery, and coolant were reportedly replaced in June 2024.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

Chassis number P1J50850BW is consistent with a right-hand-drive Jaguar 340 built in 1967. The Pennsylvania title lists the model year as 1968 and carries “Out of Country” and Antique Vehicle brands.
