Lot details Registration No: MKM361F Chassis No: PIJ50633BW Mot Expiry: Aug 2010
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.
Finished in British Racing Green with Cream upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good overall" condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Reportedly treated to "a new headlining, interior wood trim and bumpers in approximately 1989", 'MKM 361F' is further understood to "run very well" and show "excellent oil pressure". As well as a stainless steel exhaust and power steering, the sports saloon is said to benefit from "Zeus brake calipers all round". Riding on painted wire wheels, this handsome Jaguar is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until August 2010.
