A Profile of Norman Dewis

Norman Dewis is a Jaguar legend.  He joined Browns Lane factory in 1952 to work on projects such as disc-brake development and rose to the position of Chief Test Driver.. The role meant he was intimately involved with the testing of many proto-type Jaguar models, most notably the now iconic E-type.  In addition to working for Jaguar, Norman was also an accomplished racer and competed at events such as the 24 Hour Le Mans.
