I think this could be either a Jaguar '240' or '340' the final version of the MkII before the introduction of the S type. The '240' or '340' had the 'slimmed-down' front bumper like the S type but the original MkII headlights etc. http://www.jag-lovers.org/brochures/mk2/mk2_9-67_1_l.jpg Comments please. -- Last edit: 2008-09-03 15:09:43
rpcm ◊ 2007-08-19 16:16	I think you're right, it's a 1968 ( model year )+ 240 or 340. I identified one of these, but it's listed as a 1968 MkII.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-08-19 19:32	You're right, its here /vehicle.php?id=108624 in "Oh No, It's Selwyn Frogett". "In 1967, the Mark II models were replaced by the 240 and 340... "The 340 stayed in production until September 1968, with 2800 vehicles being produced, whilst the 240 continued until April 1969, with 4446 vehicles being built." from Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. So being a cut-price model-runout Jaguar the 240 was more popular and produced for longer. I propose we name both as 1968 Jaguar 240. -- Last edit: 2007-08-19 21:34:14
Sunbar ◊ 2009-07-14 18:16	For future reference... Not only is there the 'Jaguar Mk.II' or the later 'Jaguar 240 & 340' but the Daimler equivalents 'Daimler V8' & 'Daimler V8 250' with the single-blade bumpers on the later cars...
