Sir William Lyons was born on September 4, 1901. On his 21st birthday, he co-founded the company that became Jaguar Cars Ltd and remained its guiding spirit for 50 years. Always a shrewd businessman, his vision created one of the world�s best-known automotive brands. Above all, though, he excelled in the styling of cars and played an active role in creating such famous Jaguars as the XK 120 (1948), the E-type (1961) and XJ6 (1968). He died in 1985.
