Description
The Jaguar Mark II was the original compact sports saloon, offering exceptional performance, roadholding and style at an extremely competitive price. One of the most revered and successful Jaguars ever made, the Mark II proved a hit with the public and was still selling strongly ten years after its introduction.
The final flowering of the legendary Mark II Jaguar was unveiled in September 1967, the revised models known as the 240 and 340 (the 3.8-litre option was deleted). Distinguishable externally by the slimmer bumpers and hubcaps from the S-Type, mechanical changes were limited to ribbed camshaft covers on the XK engine and a new Borg Warner Model 35 automatic transmission.
In production for just two years before the new XJ6 was unveiled, the 240 is quite rare. The 240 is an excellent choice today, offering all the technical developments and improvements made to the Mark II over the life of the model.
