The now 96 year old man who you will hear in this video is one of the most noteworthy test drivers ever employed. Few test drivers are even recognized, but there are a few names that rise to the top: Lamborghini had Valentino Balboni, for example. Dewis drove for Jaguar from 1952 to 1985. Thirty-three years is a fantastic shot for a test driver, but in Dewis’s case, it’s amazing he lived through it all to tell the tales. He drove Jaguars before and after the infamous 1955 LeMans crash. In fact, he drove in that fateful race, retiring out after 106 laps. He pushed a Jaguar XK120 to 172.412 on a motorway in Belgium for a production car speed record. He balled up the only Jaguar XJ13 made, and walked away unscathed. He was even awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire as an officer for his contributions to the motor industry. The man has lived one hell of a life, and he’s still around to tell about his adventures. If that isn’t worth a bit of your time, nothing is.
