      I thought the S Type looked good... When I was a kid, in Australia you didn't see many Jags and that was pretty exotic. Now I'm not so sure tbh

      Agree blew the s type into the weeds on looks and interior i know it was a segment below. Retro could look good.

    I had the MG ZTT, loved it. Hated the integrated paddling pool though thanks to the poor plenum design.

    Actually, even the Azure looks so beautiful with the elegant Softtop, for me the Continental SC is my all Time favorite car.

    The Vel Satis looked like a mashup of the production Avantime and Vel Satis. The Pronto Cruiser was such a cool concept yet the PT Cruiser/PT Loser was absolutely awful 😆
    Also, Alex Riley is such a massive twat 😂😂

    This hasn't aged well. The Rover 75 was a disaster and the S Type wasn't successful. Neither cars were bought with the buyer heads.

      All a matter of taste of course, but in 1999 the Rover 75 was voted “The Most Beautiful Executive Saloon Car in the World” by a panel of Italian automotive experts…and they should know.

    The jaguar designer waffling shite @ 5:06 onwards about the differing faces on the cars being important and merc amd bmws generic faces. Fast forward to 2016 and look at the jaguar family samey face on the xe, xf and even f pace and xj. Wonder if hes still working for them? S type was hideous no marketing speak can cover it. Just listen to his nonsense at 5:50.

    praising the Rover 75 in 1998.
    how many left on the Road now ?
    and the ugly Ford Jaguar S type too ? killed by Ford interior ...who wants that in a Jag after all. but to compare to 1960s iconic S type ! beauty and the beast.
    both dreadful barges.both extinct very quickly.

      XJ was /is the greatest Jag. don’t bin it. improve it. a 911 lasts 50yrs plus ? XJ is equally worthy.
