The car is the result of 20 years of dreaming and 5 years of building.

I have wanted a bike engined car ever since Suzuki produced the GSX1000 in the early 80’s.

The first idea was to put one (GSX1000 that is) in a Frog-Eyed Sprite, but racing bikes, pubs and the opposite sex won in the attention stakes!

Still, I talked about it for some 15 years until enough was enough! Most of my friends and family where as fed-up of hearing the idea as I was of not doing it, so in August 1999 I started on my ‘Mission’. A bike engined car that looked like a LeMans car was the plan.

4 years and 3 chassis later I was no closer that if I had bought a kit, not that one existed at the time, had used up the wife’s patients and most of the families time and cash!

Worried it would end up another unfinished project I gave up my day job, locked the shed from the inside and got to it!

The spec. had changed, unsure that the introduction of SVA would thwart my attempts to make the car road legal, I went for a trackday weapon instead. Using the knowledge acquired over the previous years the Mission, as it came to be known, was designed, built and being tested after just 14 weeks. Job done! Not quite…….

A trip to Mallory Park with the jaguar Enthusiasts Club for a track day had most in the paddock besotted. Old friend and XJS racer Gary Davies, whopped it around 5 seconds quicker than he had done previously in his championship winning V12 XJS!

"You should market this, it’s bloody brilliant!" he said, when we finally got him out of it, the other drivers on the day concurred leading the Mission to debut at the Donington Kit car show 2002.

Since then Mission's have won the Irish Sportscar Championship, first time out, with 2 rounds to spare and decimated much more expensive machinery at track days around England.

With Gordon Griffon about to SVA his RGB car it looks as if very soon they will be doing it on the road as well!
