I know there's a crunch on but anyone got 60k they can lend me?
 

Can be repaid at about pound a week.

Caraholics : Unraced 6R4 Clubman 300

ugliest racer ever created

- but no

You will be in the minority on this.

Just awesome :thumb: One of the best sounds in rallying.

always loved the look of those --in the early nineties could not give them away -- well 20k

rover had a whole carpark full at one point -- when group b was pulled

and apprently the engine was the d's b's

Tis ugly but so ugly, it's come out the other side.

I'd have one in heartbeat.

The scoobs not too clever either :D

Ugly but cool

No he won't.

Great rally car that it is, it is still ugle as sin.

If I had 60 grand I'd get one. Imagine the faces of Supercar drivers when you destroy them at the lights

:notworthy

As a complete aside - Dont some folks live in nice houses :luvlove:

Is that really Derbyshire - looks fantastic :Suspiciou

Love these, always remember that great sound they made...stunning....

Ugly?

Hard as nails more like.... kin awesome! :D

to be honest i think ugly cars look better and get more attention ive had a pulsar gtir and thats dead ugly and also my scoob thats no princess more like her ugly sisters :norty:

id have one but id have to bury the other half as she would voice her opinion unless i said i bought it because it looked like her :lol1:

and whole Metro thing is a non-starter. Seem to recall the 0-60 was out of this world though, and they used the engine in the Jag XJ220

some info on this awesome car:

Enjoying MG - December 2001 - MG Metro 6R4 - The MG Owners' Club

Imagine explaining to the wife you had spent 60 grand on a car, and it is a Metro :D

3.8 litres i think.................sound awesome..........and they reckon a scooby has a distinct sound

And it looked like that...
AND it hasn't got a stereo...
As for the boot... :D

The total anthisesis of "form over function". The 6R4 is a legend, end of.

Best ever result in a world rally was a third place. Hardly makes it a legend.

The only reason for that it that it was banned 10 minutes after being born - it's still a legend (though ugly as f**k!)

3 litre V6. The engine went on to be developed, and developed again, and another 16 times ;), before it ended up in the XJ220. So it was a similar engine in the Jag, but not the same.

My dad owned one of the work's 6R4's back in the late 80's. He bought it off of ARG in 1986 while Grp B was still running, for the pricey sum of £5k :eek:

That one on Pistonheads is massively over-priced. The current owner bought it for 40k at the start of this year, and stuck it in a ditch on his first drive!

£60k for that or £60k for RC developments old evo, hmmm let me think :D
