Offered from the estate of the late Michael Turner

1968 Jaguar 340 4.2-Litre Sports Saloon

Goodwood Members' Meeting|19 April 2026,|Chichester, Goodwood

Registration no. TOY 200F

Chassis no. P.1.J-51571-BW

Engine no. 7D57571-8

• Rare Jaguar model

• Manual transmission

• 4.2-litre engine and other upgrades

• Purchased by Michael Turner in 2001

• Resprayed and undersealed in 2003

This Jaguar 340 saloon was purchased by Michael Turner from a UK auction in 2001. The chassis number's 'BW' suffix indicates that this car was manufactured with Borg Warner automatic transmission; however, a manual gearbox is in situ today. A previous owner fitted the 4.2-litre E-Type specification engine. A previous auction catalogue description (from when Michael purchased the car) lists lowered suspension; Koni adjustable shock absorbers to the front; Spax units to the rear; louvred bonnet; uprated front brake calipers; electric cooling fan; 72-spoke wire wheels; and a stainless steel exhaust system. It was also said that the radiator had been overhauled; the interior reupholstered; and the carpets renewed. In 2003 the Jaguar was treated to a full respray and full Waxoyl underseal (invoice on file). MoT certificates indicate that only 2,668 miles have been covered since 2006. The last MoT was issued in 2017 at 97,310 miles; only 114 miles have been covered since then. The car has not been used on the road for a few years and will require recommissioning before further use. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.
