This particular Jaguar 240 was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Harrogate sale in November 2008 (Lot 676). The then owner had advised us that the speedometer was changed on 20th August 2005 (at which time the odometer displayed a total of 48,957 miles) while the reading at time of sale was 26,076, making a total of approximately 75,000. A desirable manual/overdrive-equipped model, the car is presented in generally very good condition and offered with a quantity of expired MoT certificates and Swansea V5. Chromed wire wheels, wing mirrors, badge bar, chromed 'GB' badge and a radio/cassette player are the only notified deviations from factory specification. Kept in museum storage since acquisition, the car will require re-commissioning prior to further use.

No Reserve.
