It has! What a pile of poo & how anyone can do that to any Jag let alone a Mk2 They should be shot! Obviously maintaining the original DOHC Jag lump is beyond them.

Isn't that so bad it comes around the back and becomes cool again?

It says the alloys are originals. They are not are they?

Um, I'm not averse to engine swaps if anything good comes from it... but a Ford straight 6?

Cracking paintjob though......

I am genuinely curious: what's the reputation of the Ford I6?

All the pace of a Julio Iglesias ballad ( (c) Performance Car, 1994 albeit in a different context) and the refinement of a coffee grinder. I've never heard anyone say anything but 'avoid at all costs' about the I6 in applications where one can choose between it and the V8 (Mk1 'Stang being a prime example). To be honest much the same goes for GM and Mopar - remember the cast-iron inline sixes were the absolute bottom-of-the line offerings.

Yikes, that's rough!
