Great stuff! You're still the best! :D

I could google, but I know there are knowledgeable people around that can answer my questions.

Is the Metro only avaliable in the UK?
Between when and when was it produced?
How much was the price and how much is it today approximately?

I'm not sure about the first two questions but i do know that the one i post in this thread (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2080) went for around £65,000 with no spares.

ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!Thank You! :D

Pando, the 6R4 rally project was started in '84 and ran through the end of the '86 season. Only ~200 roadgoing cars in the 'Clubman Car' form were produced for Group B homologation. I'm not sure if they were exported but with that production number, it's highly unlikely.

I have quite a couple of other pictures of my own, I'll do my best to get them up as soon as possible.

Here's one to start you off.

Pando, yes, it was exported, at least in the less-hp versions. Though I know a swede who own one of these, but it may be private imported...

More pictures. I know they're not the best, but I worked with what I had, it was very crowded at the time and didn't provide the best of backdrops.

The engine pic doesn't show much, but it's more than what's here now so I thought I'd include it just for the sake of it.

[Sauc3]

And for those who REALLY like this thing, here's an extra movie of this car.

If anyone knows where to upload a .MOV file 2.75mb large or can somehow resize it within the limits, please contact me if you want it so I can share it.
(And for those extremely desperate, I also have a 300kb sound file that goes for 39 seconds.)

Quick, not far from you ( well closer than me by a LONG way ) a 6R4 replica that has been used in competition in France.

No idea of reserve, so it might still be looking for silly money, but 20 bids in and it's only at £6K !!!
Some of the bits I'd rate above the original spec :D

Love this car!!! Thanks for the pics :D :D
