Car was at auction 6/16
www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2016-06-11/cars/ref-47-1968-jaguar-240-mk-ii ...
Note VIN is best guess based in auction info.

Auction description:
Lot 317 - 1968 Jaguar Mk. II (2.4 litre)
Registration NUF 865G
Chassis Number J3971BW
Engine Number 7J4777/8
Odometer reading 21,631 miles
Estimate £12,000 - £16,000
Hammer Sold - £12,750

First registered in December 1968 to a Mr. Peel of Epping, Essex, this beautifully presented automatic 240 Mk. II Jaguar has been subject to a comprehensive restoration and thus is in fine fettle for this summer and many more to come. Presented in deep blue with re-trimmed contrasting blood-red coachwork and all new wood dash, this example is also accompanied by a comprehensive history file. Having recently had a mechanical overhaul including new ball joints, brake hoses and vacuum valve alongside a service in late 2015, this Jaguar was used as a wedding car by the previous owner and he assures us, not only did the groom arrive to the church on time, he got there in style. With an MoT certificate valid until April 2017, this is clearly a vehicle that has been lovingly owned and restored. A fantastically well-kept Mk. II, we would certainly recommend viewing especially at this attractive estimate.

Car now offered at:

www.iconicauctioneers.com/1968-jaguar-240-rec14244-1-warwick-1224

Seller's description:

1968 Jaguar 240

Handsome, 2.4-litre, Jaguar 240 in a very attractive colour combination.

Registration Number NUF 865G

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number J3912BW

Odometer reading 22281 Miles

Transmission Automatic

Body Colour Westminster Blue

The final development of the Mk2, the 240/340 range was introduced in September 1967 with the 240 still available until early 1969. Differences from the Mk2 were mainly cosmetic with reshaped rear bodywork, slimmer bumpers and Ambla upholstery

The 240 engine now had a straight-port cylinder head, twin HS6 SU carburettors and offered 133bhp at 5,500rpm and 100mph, coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission

First registered in 1967, this UK-delivered, right-hand drive example is noted as having a colour change from grey to dark blue c1984

Finished in Westminster Blue over a dark red leather interior, with matching door cards and carpets, and sitting on wire wheels

The current indicated mileage is 22,281 with MOTs dating back to the mid-eighties @7,249 miles. No history prior, so the mileage is not warranted 

Supplied with numerous invoices, a parts brochure and both keys

Guided very sensibly, this lovely old Jaguar would make a great entry-level classic

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
