1967 Jaguar Other Description

For sale is my 1967 Jaguar MK2 340. Selling because I don't have the time to finish.Here's the history as I know. It was purchased new in the Chicago Are by the original owner. It had a respray in mid 1970. The second owner was also in a Chicago Suburb and purchased this Jag in 1978. It was used for two a few years as he was attending college. It was parked when he bought a new BMW in 1980ish. It had been parked until early 2016 when I purchased it from him. Some work had been started years ago and it didn't get very far though. I inspected it and decided to remove the engine and freshen things up. So out came the engine and the engine got a rebuild with lots of new parts, including pistons, bearings, timing chains and components. The original cylinder head had corrosion in it so was swapped with a straight port head with intake and 2 inch HS carbs from a Euro 3.4 XJ6. It has new water pump, hoses and much more. The power steering system was rebuilt/ resealed. The hydraulics are all new and has 4 piston calipers up front and XJ6 calipers in rear. The exhaust system is new old stock mild steel.
The body is pretty good the main structure is solid. The rockers are good with the exception of the front area at lower fenders. The lower rear quarter panels edge has some bubbles to. The right rear quarter panel had been bumped and has been tapped out and would need minor filler to complete. The floors are great as you can see with the supplied pictures with the seats and carpeting removed. It needs some body work as shown and a new paint would make it look great. I intended on using it as is.
The interior is in good condition as for the wood which seems to have been well restored at some point. The carpet is new. The light color fabric on the back of the front seats is well worn and I have material to fix them included. I have manuals, paint and bits included. Its a driveable project. I have only driven it in my yard due to winter weather. It will probably need some fine tuning and adjustments to be fully roadworthy. Drive as you finish restoring!
