Lot 33: Jaguar 340

Revised editions of the 2.4 and 3.4 Mk 2 models, marketed as the 240 and 340 respectively, were produced between 1967 and 1969.� The principle visual differences were the use of ambla for the upholstery in most cases and the slimline bumpers, together with the deletion of the auxiliary lamps with twin horns behind grilles in their place.�Of extremely smart appearance in British Racing Green, this example of the 340 has clearly been the subject of considerable refurbishment.� The appearance is further enhanced by the chrome wire wheels whilst the upholstery has been recently renewed, this being in black hide.� The carpets also have been renewed.� On the mechanical front we are advised that the automatic transmission has undergone an overhaul within the last month or so, the braking system has benefited from considerable work, the engine, we are informed, is '100%' and the exhaust system has been replaced with a stainless steel unit.� The car is reported to have had just two owners and to have covered 52,000 miles
