cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-340-SALOON-ORIGINAL-CLASSIC-SPORTS-SALOON-SIMILAR ...
Opening bid $12,500 reserve not met, no bids yet, 6 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
One of only 535 LHD cars made, as a continuation of the Mark 2 model. All serial numbers match. Resprayed once in original BRG. Good oil pressure ( steady 38 psi. @ 3 000 rpm). Does not overheat. Everything under the hood is original from day One, save the battery. Brakes were redone with new inserts and DOT 5 silicon brake fluid. Stainless steel exhaust.

Totally original unrestored interior. Original naugahide "Ambla" seats are excellent as they have survived much better that dried up leather seats mostly found on these cars. Door panels excellent as well. Dash has immaculate burled walnut woodwork. Exterior chrome excellent throughout, excellent Michelin radial tires. Original tool kit complete. Loads of original documents.

Stored every winter, very limited use as a collector car since bought in 1980 ( 28 years ago). Always well maintained but unique original condition could use some TLC.

Note mileage advertised in miles, not kilometers: 72,000 miles from new (approx. 115 000km - in 40 years).

Car is located in Montreal, Quebec. Can be driven safely to most distances in North America.
