R. Tom Webster, former partner and creative director at Mother, hatched an idea with John Elder Robison, a noted east coast Bentley restorer, about involving special-ed teens to prepare a 1993 Bentley Continental to race in the historic La Carrera Panamericana, a nearly 1,900 mile road race across Mexico. From that point on, Mexico Or Bust was born.

The project aims to spread awareness and spark conversation about neurodiversity and autism by showcasing the extraordinary talents of teenagers beyond their disabilities.

Plus, it just so happens, that this will mark the first time a Bentley has ever competed in the event. The completed car was debuted in January 2017 at the Manhattan Classic Car Club. Bentley got news of the project and offered financial support as well as donated parts.
