The Jaguar MKI/MKII/ 340 is the most characteristic Jaguar "Sport-sedan" line in history. Almost everybody knows and recognizes the model as a Jaguar.

The MKII/ 340 was a car with two faces: on the one hand, it was a very fast sport-sedan, which made the car favorite of British crooks as well as the police (a fact which was made full use of in many films and television series; think of Get Carter –1970-, featuring Michael Caine, and more recently, Inspector Morse). On the other hand, it was a very comfortable acceptable business car in which the ‘upper class’ would happily present themselves.

The 340 derived its power and speed from the famous Jaguar XK engine with which Jaguar had been able to win in Le Mans in 1951 and in 1953. The Jaguar 340 was equipped with the
3442 cc. engine producing 190 bhp..

The Jaguar 340 is very suitable for daily (business) use and will give the lucky owner much driving pleasure as well as a distinct image concerning the choice of car...
