Group B rally was a lot of things. It was fast, it was thrilling, it was competitive, and it was dangerous. It was also short-lived, with the class only really seeing 5 years as the pinnacle of world rally. And with FISA back peddling on their promise to keep the rules consistent until 1988, choosing to shutter it after a shockingly deadly 1986 season, the stories of competitions that could have been, continue to fascinate fans. The Metro 6R4 is one such story – a rally car that started too late, and never had time to catch up. But why? Why did it take British Leyland Motorsport so long to develop the car, and what went wrong when it finally saw action? This is the story of the MG Metro 6R4.
