Car to be at auction 10/24

www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-3---1968-jaguar-340/

Auction description:

9th Oct, 2024 Imperial War Museum | Duxford, Cambridgeshire

Lot 3

1968 Jaguar 340

Estimate £9,000 - £11,000

Registration No: FBH 30G

Chassis No: 1J52239DN

MOT: Exempt

Presented in the colour scheme of British Racing Green over its original Black Ambla interior

Straight port cylinder head, four-speed all synchromesh gearbox with overdrive

An ideal Jaguar for a running cosmetic project, as it is described by the vendor as in 'very good' mechanical order

The last evolution of the MkII line, the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year. Visually distinguished by their new slimline front and rear bumpers, they also benefited from sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type's straight port cylinder head design. Fitted with twin SU carburettors, the 340 model's 3442cc DOHC straight-six was quoted as developing some 210bhp and 215lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 120mph in manual guise, the 'compact' Jaguar also boasted four-wheel disc brakes (a defining feature of the entire MkII range from 1959 onwards). Short-lived, just 2,265 right-hand drive specification 340s are thought to have been made.

First registered on the 3rd October 1968, ‘FBH 30G’ was supplied with a manual overdrive transmission and is an example of one of the very last 3.4 Litre models built. The documentation has been lost to time, however, the V5C records three former keepers. Subject to a 'Category N' insurance write-off in August 2023, due to what is described as a ‘very mild bump’, it was purchased by the current keeper in October 2023. The 340 has formed part of the vendor's private collection of Jaguars since and has benefitted from some mild works to repair the damage and ensure its good running for use during the classic car show season this year.

The vendor describes the 340 as being ‘a good, running and entry-level MkII', however, although the body is solid, the paintwork would benefit from some tidying. Inside, the 340’s original Black Ambla interior ‘presents well’ and could be lifted with some re-lacquering. Mechanically, a good starter, the vendor enthused about its ‘very good mechanical shape’. Now offered for sale due to the seller looking to thin his collection due to space becoming an issue, this 340 would be the ideal classic Jaguar for anyone who wants a solid basis to improve but is happy to spend their weekends improving the car’s cosmetic condition, or use it 'as is', regardless of its appearance!

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
