Is dr. malcolm sayer still alive

Celebrating the life and work of Malcolm Sayer – best known as the designer of the C, D and E-type Jaguars.
Launching on what would have been my grandfather’s 96th birthday (21st May), my family and I set up this site to recognise his life and achievements. In his lifetime his work was largely unrecognised, and it is only through the work of a few dedicated people that his outstanding contributions to the automotive and aeronautical worlds have been made clear.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of his pièce de résistance in 2011 – the E-type – it’s clear to see his legacy has continued, inspiring the next generation of designers and engineers, as well as those faithfully recreating his vision. Here we pay tribute to Malcolm with stories from his life and work from family, friends and enthusiasts, as well as celebrating the other unsung design and engineering pioneers who have helped to shape the world today, and continue to do so.
Thank you to all of those who have kept his dream and vision alive, it makes us proud and it’s very inspiring to know that what he p

Malcolm Sayer
This designer’s legacy can be summed up by those immortal words from Enzo Ferrari about the Jaguar E-Type: “The most beautiful car in the world”. Malcolm Sayer was an aerodynamicist at a time when aircraft knowledge was flowing straight to racing cars. Ask many people who he is and they probably won’t know his name, yet his design work lives on in the industry.
Born on the 21st May 1916 on the east coast of the UK whose father was a teacher of maths and art. You have to consider that those influences would shine later in life! He went to the local grammar school that his father taught at and then won a scholarship to a technical college to study aeronautic and automotive design. He left with first class honours.
From there he went to work for the Bristol Aeroplane Company to work on their flying machines. World War 2 had started and the Bristol planes were at the forefront of the fight notably the Blenheim and Beaufighter, both names ending up on a Bristol car much later. Sayer would have been working on state-of-the-art technologies for the war effort and makin
