Description
Jaguar 340/MK2 with a 3.8 engine. Willow green with black i9nterior. Automatic. A rare solid rust free car that needs to be finished. It will come with a complete stainless exhaust system by BELL. The JAG was gone through by British Service in Orange about 8 years ago but has been in storage since. I live in Ottawa now and need to sell. Car is in Palm Desert. ...
Our Take:
- Historical Significance: The Jaguar 340 Mk2 is a lesser-known sibling of the more famous Mk2 lineup introduced by Jaguar in the late 1950s. While the Mk2 series was generally known for its sporty sedans, the 340 represented the later production phase where certain features like leather seats were offered as optional to cut costs. It’s a fascinating piece of Jaguar's evolution into a broader market.
- Engine and Performance: Equipped with a robust 3.8-liter engine, this model could keep up with the sports cars of its era. The 3.8-liter engine was quite a conversation starter—known for its smooth performance and respectable top speed; it's not just a drive, it's an experience.
- Rarity and Condition: Finding a rust-free example, especially in a classic Willow green, is quite a catch. Given that it has been looked after by specialists at British Service in Orange and comes with a brand-new stainless exhaust system by BELL, this car holds a lot of promise for enthusiasts interested in a restoration project.
- Cultural Touchstone: The Jaguar Mk2 series has made appearances in various forms of media, often associated with sophistication and a dash of British elegance; think "Inspector Morse" if you're into TV detective shows. This model, with its automatic transmission, is perfect for those who appreciate classic lines without the hassle of a manual gearbox.
