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...
