- an old subject but no less a problem. I 've had this 2 litre petrol for 8 years and dearly love it. It was perhaps Ford's test mule for the X type Jaguar, how else could a $6 billion R&D budget percolate through to us humble Brits. Has anyone experience of the rather costly process of 'refurbishing' ie stripping and repairing and powder coating of the wheels ?
