Looks like I have the wrong bumpers!
While looking at the “Practical Classics” website at the Jaguar 340, I noticed that the bumpers are different than the ones that I have with my car. This link will show you the picture from the Practical Classics site. I appear to have, however, original Mark 2 bumpers which are thicker.
I found mention on the “jag-lovers sedan forum” that some Mark 2 cars that were shipped to the US were rebadged in the US by adding the “340″ onto that car. I need to do some more research on what we really have here. Of course, I may just have a set of Mark 2 bumpers and not the one’s that were originally on the car.
the 240 and 340 came with the same bumpers as the S type (1963-1968) and the 420, (1966-1968), i.e., the “refined” thin bumpers.
The MK-II “thick” bumpers were only used in the MK-II and the 3.4 Saloon aka the MK-I.
