Norman Dewis, former Jaguar test driver, works racer, and all round gentleman, has sadly passed away at the age of 98. His many achievements that helped build Jaguar in those early post-war years include developing the Le Mans-winning C-Type and D-Type, and the most famous Jaguar of them all, the E-Type. Dewis always had a thing for cars, mind. At just 14 years old, he had a job fitting wings and bonnets at the Humber factory, moving to carmaker Armtrong Siddeley a year later, honing his skills in the chassis department.
