When they sold off the last few of the real thing when Group B went tits up, they could be bought brand new for less than the price of a new Granada Ghia.

That would have been a very wise investment.

Thats cool.Shame the price tag is a bit high.

Iv'e seen two reps before one had a rx7 wankel lump and the other was a evo 8 engine and running gear.

Less.

Veyr ncie would love that in the Will Gollop colour scheme,but 20k for a mtro

Well it depends how much the kit is to decide whether it is stupidly overprices surely?

A lad at work was mad keen on rallying at that time and looked into buying one of the last ones. Remember him showing me a photo of about 20 all lined up painted white. Sure he said you could buy one for about £10,000 ? would that be about right ?

SMILER258

lynnsy

A lot of work in it, but not worth it to me, pity it wasn't done rear engined, I would have thought 10-12k would be a fair price. You never get back what a car costs to build

Ginger Will

I would go as far as to say it is the same car.

Anyway, I cant imagine that a big old donk of an engine like that in the front of a metro would handle very well. And of course the engine is in the wrong place really.

By the late '70s the collector car market had started to blossom and prices were rising. 250 GTO S/N 3757 went to Nick Mason, drummer for Pink Floyd, for approximately $86,000 in 1978 that was a wise investment an all

zetecbeast

Agree with that totally.
It does look very nicely done. but its still a metro with an NA V6 lump in it.
The build cost on something like this will never be clawed back, and although the seller 'thinks' it must be worth 20k plus. It will take someone with rose tinted spectacles to drop that much cash into a metro,
think of the othe cars that much could buy you...!

looks to go well enough

the kit is £1149, engine and drivetrain is worth peanuts, it wouldnt break for anywhere near £20k so it wont sell for it imo not by a long shot, unless someone comes along with more money than sense.

STAFFY OWNER

I agree, if you look carefully at some of the parts you can see that they are the same, for example, there is a black component in the right hand side of the engine bay (don't know what it is) that has rust in exactly the same places in both Ebay adverts.
I know that the 6R4 was/is an iconic car but the word "Metro" has to go and spoil the cars title.

zetecbeast

Wow. What A joker!!! it didn't sell at £6500 when it was last auctioned , !

About £16,000 I think they were.
