I have a 240 Jag.
As far as I know, only 9 380s where built. And the only known surviving saloon is a Regency Red one, registered TMM 451F. The engine number on this car was SE 2011-8, not being a suffix of the MK II or the 340, these engines where believed to be an S-Type unit.
What is the engine number on yours? Chasis Number?

So? Do you have a 380? It would be cool to know if there is another survivor!

Still not sure if it's a 380 ? Not sure I'm looking in the right places for the numbers ?Here's the number on the plate on fire wall says Car No P1R6472DN Any One Know from that Or where I could look to find out ? It's a Right Hand drive ,Has a Stick shift with (overdrive) in letters on Sterring colom & leather seats ,Carb Are Really over sized not like my other S type, It's a yellow color under red paint not sure if it was repainted or not ? Engine No ,7B6033-9 Thank's

I do not know how it is in the US, but in Europe, each car has its circulating permit. In it you should find how many CC's the engine has and other info, that is, if such document exists!

The S-type Jag had twin SU HD6 1 3/4 inch carbs, whereas the 340/380/Mark II 3.4/3.8 had twin SU HD6 1 3/4 inch carbs.

Your engine number being 7B 6033-9 should imply its a 3.4 S-type engine. 3.8 S-type engines, (engines in the 380 where considered such) have a 5 figure number startin 50001 and up, following the prefix 7B. the last suffix,7, 8 or 9 indicates the compression ratio.

The other number you posted is a chasis number. P1R6472DN. P indicates the car was fitted with power steering, and DN means the car was fitted with overdrive. As for the R, I am not aware of the existance of such suffix. Could it be a B instead?

How is the car badged? 380 were badged 340 and below 3.8

But what makes you think it's a 380 anyway?

I'm guessing you meant that one or the other has something other than twin SU HD6 1 3/4 inch carbs?

I Own 2 other 1966 S 3.8 & this car I bought As A Parts car is Differnt , For one there is a shifter On the stering colom & one on the floor ,Plus Yes The Carbs on that one are bigger size. Plus a book I have on Jags describes some of the things on that car as maybe a 380 ?
There are no Badges on the trunk except a big (GB)
I just hate to start tearing it a part & find out it was a rare car .
 
Thanks Basil for correcting my dreadful english. WHat I meant to say is that they all had the same carbs.

A 380 should look like a Mk II only with S-type bumbers. The sshape is not that of an S-type but a Mk II.

If the car in question looks like an S-Type, then it is not a 380.
