Not a 3.4? |

I was ready to assume it was 3.4 Source, oldclassiccar.co.uk Goodwood September 2006. Review of the racing held at this Sussex circuit, Sept 1st - 3rd. http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/goodwoodrevival.htm "A titanic battle at the front of the race saw the green A35 driven by T. Jardine (1293cc) scrapping with the grey Mk1 Jaguar 2.4 (BUY 1) peddled ably as always by Derek Bell. Incredibly in the wet the A35 had the legs on the Jag, mainly in the braking areas and through the twisty bits. The Jag had more ooomphh on the straights, but the A35 was permanently affixed to the bumpers of the classic cat. As the race wore on, the track dried, passing some advantage over to the Jaguar, which won the race, just, from the baby Austin." |

Hm. Well, I suppose they know what they're talking about, but it's got a 3.4 grille and I've always assumed BUY 1 was a 3.4 because the 2.4 wasn't very fast |

... I have to agree 2.4 is unusual. I think best to remove it from the listing and leave it here in the comments only, as I cannot find any other confirmation. |
