Record type: Motorsport Biographies
Biography: Age 34, Harry Grant is a motor mechanic and comes from Kincardine-on-Forth, Scotland. He has had plenty of experience of the Mountain Course, for he rode on it at far back as 1949—in the Junior Clubman's T.T., retiring with a seized engine. In 1952 and '53 he rode Veloccttes in the Junior T.T., collecting a couple of bronze replicas and he finished 35th on a B.S.A. in the 1956 Junior T.T. and 46th in the 1957 Junior, but retired in the Senior of that year.
In 1959 Harry finished 33rd in the Junior T.T. at 86.15 m.p.h., with a Silver replica, and18th in the Senior. He only got a Finishers Award for the latter, but he had the honour of being the first rider of a 330 c.c. machine in the Senior race. He was 33rd again in last year's Junior T.T. with another Silver, and although he did not finish so far up in the Senior - 30th against 18th - he collected a Bronze Replica and was again first "350" to finish.
Soon after the T.T. Harry went over to Ireland and on his 350 Norton collected the "Best Visitor" award in the Killinchy "150". (TT Special, 12 June 1961, p. 27)
