Overview about this 1986 MG Metro 6R4 for sale

An MG Metro 6R4 in Rothmans rally livery, described by the dealer as the ex-Billy Coleman car, and FIA approved.

The 6R4 was Austin Rover's Group B weapon: a mid-mounted 3.0-litre V6 in a car the size of a Metro, four-wheel drive, and a body that shares almost nothing with the road car it is named after. Group B ended before it could show what it was for, which is why the surviving cars are now competition machinery rather than museum pieces.

The dealer's provenance claim and the car's eligibility papers are worth reviewing directly before purchase.

This 1986 MG Metro 6R4 is offered for sale. It is powered by a petrol engine. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Rothmans Rally Livery with a ~ interior.

The asking price is £449,950. The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This MG Metro 6R4 in the European market

How this car sits against the other MG Metro 6R4 advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Can this MG be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this MG Metro 6R4, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley, a professional dealer in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this MG Metro 6R4 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Swadlincote, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this MG Metro 6R4 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
