You can build on top spec one of these for about 40-50k depending on what you want, the real ones are 150k upwards and are getting more expensive... This is the best way in my opinion to get close to the real thing with out selling your house to buy one and maintaining it is a lot cheaper!

[@SpeedingTube]

Amazing car bud, thanks for bringing her down!

[@skitz37chiltz21]

That little metro is amazing well done bro ! I used to have a metro turbo back in the day loved it 50 grand yeah I might have to build one myself💯👏👏👏👏👏

[@greigsanderson]

Bargain for the performance and look. Unbeatable at that price.

[@thephantomarse8525]

I agree put whatever engine you want in any car The honda block will put out more than a tuned v6 Just it won,t sound correct But each to his own its still a really nice car

What about the brand new 70 / 71 plate mk1 and mk2 escorts just released for sale... With an nice Millington motor amd sequential box. As well as the 6r4, Stratos, 66 Cooper S works and mk2 jag with latest jag restored parts - engine suspension brakes and all other tech to get 2020s performance with 1970 looks. Gotta have a mk1 range Rover to tow with. And a she'd full of assorted 205gti in road rally and hill climb setup just for fun and in numbers so the usual rolls are less heartbreaking 💔 Oh and an important with 150 but at back wheels.

[@6R4NET]

Great to see a well built replica, but it should really be called a 4R2. But that’s just nitpicking. There are way too many bad examples out there, so it’s really nice to see a replica built to such a high standard and have the performance similar to a genuine 6R4. Nice choice on the belga colours too 👍

Sweet jesus, that looks sounds and goes amazingly! I love the v6 but anyone with ears has got to admit this four pot equipped build sounds superb and goes incredible!

Alway thought the V6 should have been turbo'd.

[@davidkenworthy6680]

There was a turbo v6 6r4, will gollop made it but they de-stroked the engine from 3.0l to like 2.3l and fitted twin turbos. Redlined at 11,000 rpm and rumoured to be able to produce like 700-800bhp it was a machine.

[@ianhill20101]

Jag Xj220 lump is the same unit the 6r4 used is it not and they can be tuned to 1000bhp so says TWR and even more what a special toy that would be 6r4 xj220 spec try not to be Henri toivonen rip.

[@CarLos-yi7ne]

Well, I thought quite some 6R4 (ab)used in rallycross were turboed? 🤔

Nice job! I use to watch these rally in the 80s , they were too quick for the escorts and even UR Quattro. The opposition didn't like it.

Group 4 and Group B is the same.

[@PeterSmith-ls7ut]

@@nedboase7909 it does get confusing, all I can remember was I use to watch the Lombard rally in the early 80s when Audi, escorts and 6R4s were competing with one another. The 4 wheel drives were too good. I was actually an Escort fan. But it was along time ago. So I could be wrong with all the group's. I thought they dropped group B in the mid 80s cos of safety issues.

Fantastic build Sir. Why is not registered on a Q plate?

There's no need, it was never scrapped. It's still easy to see it's an F reg Metro, albeit kitted with a different engine. Q plates are often no vin plate, have been scrapped, no history and changed beyond recognition so they are re-registered as a Q plate.
