I get to meet a childhood hero...the legendary Group B monster that is the MG Metro 6R4. A 400 horsepower, mid-engined AWD Mini Metro that was born from the 1980's Group B Rally era. With an 11,000 RPM red line experiencing this car around the Goodwood Festival of Speed Rally Stage is something I will remember for a very long time !
A huge thanks to the owner Martin for enabling me to share to wonderful and historic car with you guys !

The car club I was in during 85/86 was asked if we could Marshall some local stages in Wales as Tony Pond and Rob Arther were testing the MG 6r4. You could hear the car coming well before you saw it. It was an incredible time. When Tony arrived at our control, we had a quick chat with both crew. Tony was full up with the flu, but when asked about how it was affecting his driving, he said as soon as the clutch dropped, the adrenalin kicked in and just drove as he usually did!! Flat out. Great guys to meet 👍😎

Similar story, during the 1985 Lombard RAC Rally. Not long a member of my motor club (8 months) and we were asked to marshal Stang forest (stage before Hamsterly). As I was carrying on into the rally with some lads, I got to marshal arrivals. Every grp B coming in was amazing to stand beside (like the waste gate ports on the Lancia Delts S4 or the marshal warmers as we nick named them) but the Metro even more so.Tony, Rob and Malcolm (can't remember Malcolm's nav) were fairly chatty whilst getting ready, unlike the rest of the foreign drivers. The feeling stood next to the ticking over Metro was felt through the body. One day I'll get a ride in one

Wow, echoing an earlier comment, your best vlog yet. What an experience !!. Amazing to see the drivers view of the rally course, especially in something as iconic as a 6R4. Back in the day group B was as big as formula 1 and the cars were nuts. I never got to see them back in the day, so the rally stage at Goodwood is my chance to see the 6R4s, RS200s, Lancias etc in action.

Used to Marshall in the South Wales forests back in the 80's and the Metro 6R4 was by FAR the best car off a standing start imo, BEAST!!! Peter LLoyd Rallying? from the South Wales Valleys, he used to have a rally shop up Pontycymer way if I remember correctly.

That was soooo cool. Considering how rare these 6r4's are and parts that are literally unobtainable unless u have them made, it's great to see it still being used for us all to enjoy... loved the jump👍🤗

The best sounding v6 of all time, shame this car didn't have a longer career, it had huge potential in those anything goes group b days, glad to see that enthusiasts are still campaigning them.

This 6R4 was not even driven at a fraction of full potential and yet it still gives goose-bumps & cheerful screaming to the passenger bloke..🙂 imagine same stage in full-rain and pedal to the floor.. madness.. here is the 6R4 owned & driven by Colin McRae that was restored but detuned by the specialists who restore it from alarming 13.000rpm to 9500 rpm it still sounds pretty epic.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pa3yEQGEV5w.html

Patrick Head was the project leader for this. He went on to be top dog at Williams F1. The engine was a rover V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off.

Yes correct a 90 degree v6 (ilo 60 or 120 degree) with shared big end pins (so no flying webs normal to 60 deg v6 cranks), so I believe has uneven firing pulses.

Totally agree. If I won the lotto my car garage would be 70s and 80s only! And the only Italians allowed would be wearing a Lancia badge!!
