This 1968 Jaguar 240 is a fine example of British class and craftsmanship. Delivered new in Belgium, it has only ever been owned by two people, with the latest owner keeping it since 1978. This model, an evolution of the iconic Jaguar Mk2, is equipped with matching numbers on its 2.4-liter six-cylinder engine and manual 4-speed transmission. In original condition and never overhauled or restored, this enjoyable driver’s car combines timeless design with a rich history, offering a unique opportunity for enthusiasts of classic British sports limousines.
The body is finished in a stylish shade of grey, which beautifully contrasts with the deep blue carpeting and dark leather upholstery. The interior exudes 1960s charm, featuring a beautifully patinated wooden dashboard and original Smiths instruments. The seats provide a comfortable and luxurious feel, while the steel wheels with chrome hubcaps lend the car a subtle yet chic appearance. Both the paintwork and the interior display signs of use and patina that are fitting for the age of this original classic.
This car has a Belgian license plate.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.
