Mike Champion: A Brief History
Mike Champion: Director, Engineer, Mechanic, Fabricator and Painter at MCE Porsche
With a history as a qualified automotive engineer spanning over 30 years, Mike has worked on the design, development and production of many of the world’s most prestigious vehicles and engine derivatives.
From an initial apprenticeship as a vehicle mechanic, fabricator and paint technician, Mike progressed through the ranks to a post-graduate career in road car and F1 engineering, developing powertrain and chassis installations for Tom Walkinshaw Racing and Jaguar Land Rover.
Then followed several years in engine design for Cosworth and Aston Martin, developing their V12 and twin turbo engines.
More recently, Mike continued to consult within the industry, on tasks ranging from engine and chassis design, through to vehicle development and whole vehicle testing.
Throughout the time in industry, Porsches were always a key part of the picture, as benchmark vehicles for competitor and technology references and with early air-cooled and modern water-cooled models as restoration projects, race cars and daily-drivers. Eventually the Porsche connections would become impossible to ignore, and as an engineer, the detailed hands-on rebuilding and restoration activity would give frequent opportunities to explore the technology and assembly techniques of the era, and how they differed from those being developed today.
