The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1969 Jaguar Mk II 240
Registration - UBD 258G
Chassis No. - 1J4365DN
M.O.T. - October 2024
Odometer - 71,867
‘UBD 258G’ is a righthand drive home market 240 manual has apparently received a thorough mechanical overhaul in recent years order to ‘bring it up to a good driving standard’. Complete with seemingly fast road look the Jaguar currently displays an unwarranted but credible total mileage from new of 71,867 and current until October 2024.
It was towards the end of 1967 that Jaguar discontinued the 3.8-litre version of its much-vaunted MKII model and rebadged the 2.4 and 3.4 versions as 240 and 340 respectively. Output of the 2.4-litre engine was increased to 120bhp courtesy of an improved cylinder head and new inlet manifold topped by twin HS6 SU carburettors. Coincidental changes included a slight reshaping of the rear body and fitment of slimmer bumpers and over-riders, while earlier cost-savings meant the once leather-clad seats were now adorned with a faux alternative, Ambla, and the carpets were of the tufted rather than pile type. The good news was that, at a mere £1,364, the last of the 2.4-engined saloons was only £20 dearer than the MKI version of 11 years before, and therefore astonishing value for money. A total of c.91,222 MKIIs, 240s and 340s were ultimately produced, some 29,619 of which were equipped with the 2.4-litre engine.
In summary:
- MOT until October 2024
- Features the desirable manual transmission
- Rides on wolfrace wheels
