AI Listing Summary

This 1987 DAM 4100 Metro 6R4 is a rare, bespoke rally car with 'Group B' DNA, based on the Clubman's 6R4 Chassis #183.

Condition

The car was recently refreshed, with new fuel tanks, pumps, filters, seats, a fire system, pads, and a custom stainless steel exhaust. In 2018, the engine was completely rebuilt.

There is slight wear expected from use, but the car seems to be in overall solid condition, so I rated it a 7.
