Auction description:

Lot 98 of 127: 1968 Jaguar 340

Registration No:VLK 26G

Chassis No:1J52106DN

- 1 of just 2,265 made, Black upholstery, manual / overdrive transmission, older restoration

- 'Good' (bodywork, electrics), 'Very Good' (engine, gearbox, paintwork), 'Average' (interior trim)

- New brake master cylinder and tyres, completed a trouble-free 150-mile run in October 2019

First registered by London County Council on 17th October 1968 (or so its 'VLK 26G' number plate would imply), this notably late 340 was subject to various restoration works including a colour change from Blue to Red prior to being acquired by its previous keeper in 2003. Kept garaged for at least the past sixteen years, the Jaguar has been sparingly used covering just 1,100 miles since 2007. Issued with 'no advisories' MOT certificates in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, the saloon is now exempt from testing. Reportedly treated to a new brake master cylinder and fresh tyres recently, 'VLK 26G' is further understood to have completed a trouble-free 150-mile run in October 2019.

PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us that this lot has also recently benefited from a new petrol tank, and new brake discs / callipers / pads.
