Details:
The Jaguar 240/340 would replace the MKII 2.4, 3.4, 3.8 range in 1968, and came with a number of significant changes. Leather gave way to Ambla (vinyl) and the heavy fluted bumpers were replaced with much neater, slimmer items. The fog and spot lamps were replaced with dummy air vent grilles and there was no, official, 3.8 version. The 240 did gain performance from the E-Type straight port head and inlet manifold, which was fitted with SU carburetors . The model would be dropped altogether in 1969 after Jaguar rationalised the range to a single model, the XJ6 would be dropped altogether in 1969 after Jaguar rationalised the range to a single model, the XJ6.

The vendor states that this rare black example of a 240 is in sound all round condition, and an inspection of the underside would suggest that it has neve been welded there. The body is good and the paint is average. The mechanics are good and the interior is sound. The car runs well and is a very good basis for a rolling restoration.
