Dan et al.,
Not too many 4WD MG-badged jobs around. This one is actually the
homologated, de-tuned, "Clubman" version putting out a mere 250hp or so.
There was a fire-breathing "International" version that won the Circuit of
Ireland Rally in 1986. It was putting out something north of 400hp and made
0-110mph in 10.00 seconds. It made 0-60mph in about the time it takes you to
say "Bob's your uncle." It must have been quite a handful.
I found information about the Metro 6R4 in Richard Monk's excellent book,
"The MG Collection: The Post-War Models."
