The Jaguar 340, produced from 1967 to 1969, was a two-door coupe that represented a departure from Jaguar's traditional lineup. It was a smaller, more affordable, and more practical car designed to appeal to a younger audience and compete with popular European sports coupes like the Triumph TR6 and MG B. The 340 was built on a shortened version of the Jaguar Mk2's platform and featured a 2.4-liter inline-six engine sourced from the Jaguar 240. This engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, delivered respectable performance, offering a top speed of 105 mph and a 0-60 mph time of around 11 seconds. The 340's styling, though influenced by the Mk2, offered a sportier and more modern aesthetic with a sleek, sloping roofline and a distinctive grille. However, despite its intended appeal, the 340 struggled to gain market traction, facing stiff competition and the stigma of being a less prestigious Jaguar.

Though the 340 shares the "340" designation with the 340R racing car, the two are entirely unrelated. The 340R was a purpose-built race car developed in the 1990s by Jaguar Sport, with a distinct lineage and design. The 340, however, was a production car intended for the road, albeit with performance aspirations. While the 340 was not a commercial success, it remains a distinctive and intriguing chapter in Jaguar's history, particularly for enthusiasts who appreciate the brand's willingness to experiment and explore new market segments. The 340 stands as a testament to Jaguar's ambition to broaden its appeal beyond its traditional luxury car image, showcasing a period where the brand explored more affordable and sporty offerings for a younger audience. Unfortunately, the 340's production run was short-lived, making this model a rare and sought-after collectible for Jaguar enthusiasts today.
