MICK GRANT'S GRIT

from £550.00

Large framed giclée print, edition of 30.

Mick Grant’s Grit is from Rachael Clegg’s Milestones series in which every single image illustrates an event from the history of the Isle of Man TT Races.

The story:

It was during the 1975 Classic TT that Yorkshireman Mick ‘Gritty’ Grant (nicknamed for his no-nonsense resilience) broke Mike Hailwood’s long-standing Isle of Man TT lap record of 105.62mph, with Grant lapping at 109.82mph. This led Mike Hailwood - who was watching at the Start -  to utter an affectionate ‘you bastard’. But things soon went downhill for Grant: after smashing the record his chain broke at the Gooseneck. A nearby fan ran into the track and grabbed the chain but burned his hand. This bit of schadenfreude cheered Grant up no end.
