The only change was 1967 revamp, which renamed as 240/340 and Daimler as V8 250, which all shared new slimline single-ridged bumpers; 340 only lasted a year, but 240 and Daimler carried on until mid-69. There was no official 380, although a small number of 3.8 340s seem to have accidentally happened - perhaps 12 - with normal 340 boot badge but carried-over 3.8 grille badge. Back to this one - despite body-colour wheels it's a 3.4 - all-red grille badge (2.4 was red centre with black outer) and wider grille.
