A novel, but ultimately short lived feature was the rear mounted windscreen wiper. Under the bonnet 340 was quite different to the following vehicles as it was built on a bottom tier coach chassis with the 218bhp engine, whereas the remainder of the fleet was based on the 170 bhp bus style chassis. 340 was also easily recognisable as being the only N-type delivered new with wheel trims, and also a lower case fleetname which was replaced with a more forceful upper case variation from 341 onwards. These features were all removed at a later stage in 340's life.
