Mercedes W126 S-Class vs Jaguar XJ40 - 80s Luxury Battle!

Phil gets behind the wheel of two iconic executive saloons from the golden age of luxury motoring: the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class and the Jaguar XJ40. Representing two very different approaches to prestige and performance, these 1980s titans go head-to-head in a twin test that explores build quality, ride comfort, driving dynamics, and the intangible charm that only classic cars can deliver.

Which one stands the test of time? Is it the over-engineered German flagship or the distinctly British bruiser? Join Phil as he dives into the details, takes both for a spirited drive, and decides which classic saloon offers the more rewarding experience today.
