Welcome to the site Gerard. Nice project. Are you hoping to put it on the road? I know someone that has a Rothmans road one and its a mad yoke!

wow, wow and triple wow !!! An old neighbour had one of those 6R4s, and it was crazy! The noisy of it starting up use to rattle our house LMAO, theres still a few rallying around in Scotland that ive seen!

....but then i see the RS200....is that yours also ??? Best car Ford (or should i say Reliant) ever made in my eyes!

[irlmin]

I will check on the panels , We have a source in UK that has vast quantaties of Rover parts all original and we have regular deliveries of Mini parts from them . I will ask the question re availability of Metro panels Tomorrow and see what happens .

I remember sitting in a cold wet field in Donegal about 20 something years ago just waiting for one of those to come past! Tony Pond was driving I think?? :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

One of the best memories I have of those was around 1985 We were going through the tunnels from France to Italy near Ventemiglia and were overtaken by 2 6R4's and some Grpup B lancias , Group B Peugeots etc etc the NOISE was amazing !!!!!! I will never forget it , they were between stages on the San Remo Rally . again the late and great Tony Pond was driving one .
