Description
Jaguar MK 2 340.
Update: New distributor, ignition coil, plug leads and battery just fitted (2/ 10/ 24)
Much admired example finished in Old English White, wire wheels and overdrive, UK RHD car with the desirable manual overdrive gearbox.
Removable racing numbers - Homage to the successful racing Jags of the sixties
The 340 has the EType straight port head and larger twin HS6 SU carbs, giving 3. 8 performance
Significant expenditure on all mechanical aspects of this car to make it reliable and capable of long distance touring. Over £13K spent since 2016.
Additional £2k spent on professional chassis and subframe rust replacement repairs in June 23
Current owner since 2018 and I have completed trips to Goodwood, Geneva and the French Alps (hours on french autoroute at 80 in overdrive)
Perfect oil pressure and water temp.
Hidden Bluetooth music and phone kit.
Grey leather interior.
Matching numbers and Heritage Certificate
Large pile of invoices for all recent work, which includes:
New alternator, solenoid, starter, all leads, battery
Carb overhaul, new fuel pump
New Dunlop SP AquaJet tyres (to original Jag EType spec)
Brakes overhauled and new hubs
New springs
Professional overhaul of gearbox, clutch, servo, flywheel and engine rebuild
This car is mechanically very good and can be used confidently. It needs some paintwork to bring to top standard, including some bubbling to front wheel arches, scratch to rear drivers wing and dent to roof (advised relatively simple repair).
No offers at this price, I have priced realistically to reflect these repairs, paint, etc this will make a great car given the reliability and mechanical work undertaken . Looks great in this colour combination, very comfortable and relaxed for longer trips. Will cruise at motorway speeds and good acceleration for overtaking with the overdrive option.
