Last evolution of the MKII 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 MKII range from 1959 onwards). Short lived, just 2,265 right-hand drive specification 340s are thought to have been made. This right-hand drive example has recently been brought out of long term underground storage where it has been for over 20 years and was last taxed in 1983. We are informed it boasts matching chassis and engine numbers and is a one owner example that has only covered 23,130 miles from new. Said to be 'very' original 'WBY 80F' is offered with original jack, collection of invoices and V5 document.
