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

Really cool. It reminded me of James May doing 200mph+ in a Veyron and saying "When I had to slow down, I was still doing 70mph, but it felt slow enough to step out". That thing is brutal. You can see how hard he's working the wheel just to keep it going vaguely straight :)

Love goodwood for the car owners like this. Got to love this guy for the tow bar on the Bentley blower. As British as they come. One for thinking it was a good idea, two, for knowing it would do it with ease.

Great video thanks, 6r4 is one of my dream cars my stepfather had a 1.0 litre metro and it blew me away that 6r4 was in the same family. Plus I think it held the world record for 0-60 then the RS200 took over.
