Four decades ago, MG’s engineers had a fun day off and created this: a fire-spitting, fog lamp-heavy Group B rascal dubbed the ‘6R4’. And now, courtesy of Bonhams, your opportunity to own Colin McRae’s own 6R4 has just appeared.
The steroidal Scrappy Doo of course benefited from a bespoke space-frame chassis and shared but a few panels with the original car, somewhat mercifully. It was designed in collaboration with Williams, who helped to completely revise the internals: four-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive, six cylinders in place of four and a rear-engine layout as opposed to front.
