MG Metro 6R4 - Ex-Colin McRae

This is the original MG Metro 6 R 4 that Colin Mc Rae bought on retirement from the WRC.

He used it for Course Car duties during the 1998 Colin Mc Rae Stages.

He was featured on Motors TV and was the most watched 6 R 4 You Tube video of all time!!!

Very rarely can a 6 R 4 be seen driven in anger with such skill and control.

It is no suprise that Colin Mc Rae was voted the 'Ultimate British Driver' by the readers of Motorsport News 2014.

Colin's stature and reputation make him known worldwide by a much broader audience than just Rally fans.

Japan and the US for example see him as some kind of Laura Croft and Indiana Jones figure

due to his Video Game success.

Once freed from works contracts. /

Colin purchased this car with his own money for the pure pleasure of owning and driving it.

After using it for Course car duties the car unfortunately caught fire whilst Colin was working on it in his garage.
