JAGUAR MK

1968 Jaguar 340 Automatic with Power Steering in Jaguar Phoenix Red with black upholstery and wire wheels. Upgraded with MK2 'big bumpers' and front fog lights this Jaguar also benefits from power steering. From September 1967, the Jaguar MkII range was replaced by the 240 and 340 models with slimmer bumpers, chrome grilles in place of the front fog lights and Ambla, rather than leather interiors. Introduced to keep the range attractively priced until the launch of the new XJ6 in September 1968, some 2,788 340s were made during the period - the 240 carrying on as a budget model for some time to come. The good news was, that thanks to a new straight port cylinder head and twin SU carbs, a 240 was noticeably quicker than a 2.4 and a 340 had at least the performance of the old 3.8.
