KEY FACTS This MG Metro 6R4 is one of nine ex-Works examples built to international rallying specification, with an interesting competition history including a championship win at the Esso Scottish Rally Championship in 1991, and which has since benefitted from a 10-year restoration involving former technicians from the Austin Rover Motorsport (ARM) Works team.
Power comes from a 3.0-litre Cosworth-derived V6, reportedly now producing 450bhp following a recommissioning with Goodmans Engineering in 2005, paired with a five-speed manual transmission.
Co-developed by Williams F1, nine Works-specification 6R4s were registered with this example being number nine.
