Transmission Manual

Offered here is a 1968 Jaguar 340 – the final and most refined development of the legendary Mk2 line. Finished in the attractive specification of Grey with a contrasting red leather interior, this example presents beautifully and has been fully restored in recent times.

The car has been cherished by its owner for 25 years, with a history file including maintenance records, a Heritage Certificate and documented ownership history. The interior is particularly inviting, with freshly trimmed seats, polished wood veneers and period-correct instrumentation.

Mechanically, it starts on the button and runs strongly, with the vendor describing it as a ‘joy to drive’. Having recently had a considerable amount invested in its upkeep, it is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

The car retains all the hallmark features of the era - twin fuel tanks, polished chrome detailing, and the iconic leaping cat mascot atop the bonnet. It has been subject to careful, long term ownership and having recently undergone a gradual restoration, represents a fine example of British super saloon sophistication. This Jaguar 340 is ideally suited to weekend drives, classic tours, or club events.
