Sir Kenneth Grange

125 Group are sad to confirm that our Honorary President, Sir Kenneth Grange has passed away at the age of 95.

Sir Kenneth became a key designer for many iconic household items – but will be best remembered by us for the amazing transition he made to the front end design styling and livery of the InterCity 125.

Following the Group’s involvement with the restoration of the Prototype Power Car, Sir Kenneth became a good friend of the Group, an advocate of our aims and has been our Honorary President for the last ten years – visiting us at events on numerous occasions.

We pass on our deepest condolences to his Wife, Apryl and all of his family.
