  • Keith Duckworth Obituary 4
    Keith Duckworth: Obituary Cosworth is sorry to record that its founder, Keith Duckworth, died on Monday, 19 December 2005. He was 72 years old. Along with his life-long colleague and friend, Mike Costin, he had set up Cosworth Engineering in 1958, and guided it to world –wide fame in the field of high-performance automotive engineering. It was Keith who personally designed the legendary Cosworth DFV V8 Formula One engine which, with 155 GP victories, is the most successful engine ever to be used in the sport. David Keith Duckworth was born in Blackburn, Lancashire, on 10 August 1933, into a family with roots in the cotton weaving industry. Having spent eight years at Giggleswick School, he then studied engineering at London’s Imperial College where, as he always cheerfully admitted : ‘I just scraped through with a pass. No way was I going to get honours….’ After completing his studies in 1957, and already known as a deep and analytical thinker, he accepted a development post at Lotus to work on their new gearbox, where he met Mike Costin, and forged a life-long friendship with the man who was to become his partner. After only one year, and determined to work for himself, he moved out of Lotus. Along with Costin, they then set up Cosworth Engineering, which originally had an authorised capital of just £100. Working alone at first (Costin’s contract at Lotus could not be broken until 1962), and using borrowed premises in Kensington, he set out on a career defined by a famous assumption that: ‘It must be possible to make an interesting living, messing about with racing cars and engines ….’ After moving to the Railway Tavern, Friern Barnet, in 1959, and taking on his first staff, Keith developed Cosworth’s first Ford-based Formula Junior engine, which soon set new high standards, and won hundreds of races.

Ascott Collection is proud to have the privilege of offering for sale chassis No. 4, a B16 that is widely known for its authenticity and its history, with participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 to its credit: in short, a car that has now acquired considerable rarity value.... Now that historic races have incorporated a new generation of racing cars, Ascott Collection will be exhibiting a 2009 ORECA FLM09 at the Historic Sportscar Racing stand. The HSR hosts a series of historic races on the other side of the Atlantic, including one of the world's finest historic races, the HSR Classic 24 Hours of Daytona. With Lister having relaunched the production of a new series of only 10 Lister Knobblys, Ascott Collection will be offering for sale N° 7, which is ready to race, in its magnificent livery... The gorgeous 1988 MARCH BUICK 86G MOMO will be presented. Bought, sponsored and extensively raced in 1988 by Gianpiero Moretti, the owner of MOMO, it is the most developed MARCH BUICK 86G from the IMSA GTP period.
