Keith Duckworth O.B.E died December 18th. 2005, after a short illness. Much loved husband of Gill, father of Tricia and Roger, stepfather to Amber and Tina. Respected by so many for his exceptional design skills and insight into engineering.

An inspiration to all who met him. An outstanding engineer, co-founder of Cosworth Engineering, designer of the DFV engine. Admired for not accepting what you are told is fact, and taught all those close to him to think. He will be sorely missed by so many.


A lot of people will have come across Keith during his life and many others who will have been inspired by his works. Please leave a message recounting a meeting, a memory you may have or what he may have meant to you.
with deepest respect.. Prezence
