NORMAN DEWIS OF JAGUAR
Developing the Legend
Paul Skilleter with Norman Dewis
PJ Publishing Ltd,
This
is a story both of personal achievement and of a heroic period in Jaguar's history. In
a career spanning 33 years at Jaguar, Norman Dewis tested
and
developed a remarkable series of cars including:
C-type - D-type -
XK 140/150 - 2.4/3.4 and Mk 22 saloons
Mk VII/Mk VIIM
- E-type - XJ13 - XJ/XJ-S - XJ40
Plus, he rode with Stirling Moss in a
C-type in the 1952 Mille Miglia, drove a 190mph
works
D-type in the highly dramatic 1955 Le Mans, raced in the Goodwood 9
Hours,
and set an amazing 173 mph production car record at Jabbeke in Belgium with
an
XK 120. Completing over a million test miles at 100mph-plus average,
Norman Dewis also
played a crucial role developing the revolutionary Dunlop disc brake, and
survived high-speed crashes and roll-overs in the days before seat-belts -
and without ever
breaking a single bone.
Filled with personal insights and
fascinating technical details, this book tells the
unique
story of a great Jaguar character and the equally great cars he
worked with.
