Malcolm Sayer was steeped in the principles of aerodynamics by the time he joined Jaguar in 1952. Sayer helped to shape Jaguar’s first Le Mans winner, the C-Type, and went on to design the iconic D-Type, XJ13 and E-type, with their beautiful and streamlined profiles. Sayer’s working methods involved plotting the co-ordinates of complex curves with slide rules and logarithmic tables and he also pioneered the use of wind tunnels to test a car’s aerodynamic properties. Sayer’s last car was the XJ-S though, sadly, he died in 1970, before it went into production.
