DETAILS—THIS PARTICULAR 1967 JAGUAR 340 MK 2 SALOON

The styling of the Jaguar Mark 2 is truly timeless and remains as beautiful as ever. The interior is pure luxury from an era gone by. The year 1967 marked the end of the Mark 2 production run with only 2,788 340’s were built that year. The majority of the limited production being delivered to the West Coast, as was this car, which has remained in Northern California with one owner for 52 years.

The car underwent a complete cosmetic restoration including a repaint in its original factory color of Carmen red, and all new interior (seats, carpet & some trim) in 1996-1997. Since the restoration, the Jaguar has been used minimally and primarily by its elderly owner to display at local British shows. The car looks good and drives well. It is being offered for sale by the owner’s estate.

This Jaguar is reasonably priced and could be enjoyed as is, or with little expense, could be brought to an even higher level. Within the last 100 miles, the Jaguar was professionally inspected and the braking system, cooling system and electrical components were checked and service as necessary. The car has functioning lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc. and receive the benefit of a brake and coolant flush along with a tune-up and minor service. As a life-long, rust-free California car it is an excellent candidate. The provenance provided by the included original documentation, including the British Heritage Certificate, is impressive documenting the car as a matching numbers example.

HISTORY

The Jaguar Mark 2 is a mid-sized luxury sports saloon built from late 1959 to 1967 (total 83,976 cars) in Coventry, England. A total of 28,666 cars were 3.4 liter, 2,788 in the final 1967 model year. The Mark 2 replaced the Mark 1 but had no direct successor. Power is by a Jaguar XK6 I6 engine with twin SU HD6 carburetors. Four wheel disc brakes were standard. Tests of an automatic transmission car gave a top speed of 119.9 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 11.9 sec.

The Mark 2’s body lines proved sufficiently popular over time to provide inspiration for the second generation Jaguar S-Type, a nostalgia model introduced in 1999. A Mark 2 was driven by TV detective Inspector Morse as played by John Thaw on British TV.

·How much experience do they have with collector cars?

·How many positive collector car vehicle sales have they completed (positive eBay feedback)?

·How detailed/complete is the description of the vehicle?

·Do the photos show details of the interior, exterior, top, chrome, etc. or are they simply "glamour shots" taken from a distance?

·Does the seller have a Surety Bond to protect the financial transaction?

·What about insurance, licensing by the state, and a local business license?

·Does the seller (if a business) have any DMV (Motor Vehicle) complaints and/or other history of legal action, grievances?

·Does the seller enjoy a favorable local and national/international reputation?

·Can the seller assist with funding sources, transport and out of state/country sales?

·The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair.

·We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source.We strive to achieve 100% positive feedback on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions.

·We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive.We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods.Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office.
