[mpialan]

To be honest, I have nowhere to keep it, nor money to buy it?

Or any desire to buy something that I would probably end up killing myself in

£24k rings about right with me.

Beautiful piece of kit and prob cheap at 500K... imagine what a top running F1 car would cost you... but yes cant afford it naturally ...

I would not say its the fastest 6R4 in the world, the rallycross boys could and should claim that title.

 

Will Gollops, Bi turbo 6R4 had over 750 bhp and i remember vaguely that at one point it was in excess of 800bhp, not bad from a 2.3 (and yes it was a 2.3 and not a 3ltr)

If you read the link it tells you about one time it has been faster than will gollop's bi-turbo 6r4 and other group b cars

 

Either way that would be a an amazing toy for the weekend, Crowd fund me anyone? I would also need money to convert it to automatic so be generous

Missed that little snippet, but it would have been interesting seeing Will driving his car in full max attack mode on a hill climb. Only ever saw it on Rallycross events apart from a Magazine article back in the day when it was driven by Will.

 

Still £500K, that is serious money for a Metro.

[sonscar]

But it is not really a METRO is it?its a Legend,It would be interesting to park at a show,stand back and listen to "Kit car etc".Steve..

[Maccmike8]

A petrol head would know what it was but if it annoyed me enough Id just put a sign up - 'yes its real' 

[surfblue]

There was one on ebay recently for only £350,000 which was built to order in the white and blue comoutervision colours.
