MG reveals Group B Metro

As it tried to power away from the British Leyland mess of the 1970s, Austin Rover wanted to step up its competition efforts, and its big idea was getting Williams F1 design guru Patrick Head to design a rallying MG Metro. Thus the Group B Metro 6R4 was unveiled in 1984 with a 320bhp Rover V6. Unfortunately, it wasn’t much cop, never winning in the WRC.
