Beskrivning
This 1968 Jaguar 340 represents the final and most refined evolution of the legendary Mark II saloon — a model that defined an era of British motoring and still commands respect today. Fitted with the responsive 3. 4-litre XK engine and desirable manual gearbox with factory overdrive, this is a proper driver’s car with the comfort, charm and road presence of a true classic.
With just 72, 216 miles showing, this example has clearly been cherished and enjoyed sparingly over the years. The later 340s benefitted from subtle styling revisions, including slimmer bumpers and minor trim updates, giving the car a sleeker look without losing the distinctive character of the earlier Mk2s. Built in the closing years of Jaguar’s golden era, the 340 has become something of a collector’s sweet spot — offering classic design with improved usability and a more understated finish.
Step inside and you’re greeted by all the hallmarks of classic Jaguar luxury — rich wood veneers, original Smiths instruments, and that unmistakable air of gentlemanly refinement. The factory-fitted overdrive allows for relaxed high-speed touring, while the straight-six engine still delivers that unmistakable growl under acceleration. The cabin offers a genuine time-warp experience, beautifully aged and full of character, making every journey feel like a special occasion.
This particular car presents as a very honest, largely original example with strong mechanical fundamentals and a charming, period-correct feel. It would make a superb addition to any classic collection or serve equally well as a refined weekend cruiser. With values for manual overdrive models continuing to climb, it also represents a smart opportunity to invest in a true British icon.
