About the MG Metro 6R4 #14 D. Llewellin / P. Short RAC Rally 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast MG Metro 6R4 reproduces David Llewellin's #14 RAC Rally 1986 livery as a sealed, one-piece body. This compact British Group B car's flared bodywork defines the piece. A genuine home-market rally legend.

The Metro 6R4 stands as Britain's own contribution to Group B's brief, dramatic era, and Llewellin's home RAC Rally entry gives this diecast genuine domestic motorsport standing.

A Sealed Body for a Compact Group B Car

This Metro 6R4 is a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, and the sealed shell suits the car's aggressively widened arches built around a mid-mounted V6, all rendered as one continuous surface without interruption from hinge lines. There are no opening panels here, so the sponsor liveries and Llewellin's #14 car number sit crisply printed across the bodywork, and the compact hatchback base's transformation into a wide, purposeful rally shape comes through clearly.

British Motorsport's Group B Contender

Austin Rover built the 6R4 specifically to compete in Group B rallying, adapting a compact hatchback into a genuinely purpose-built competition car with bespoke bodywork and a mid-mounted engine. Its home-market RAC Rally entries carried particular significance for British motorsport fans following the sport during Group B's short but memorable existence.

A Home-Grown Piece for a Group B Shelf

At 1:18, the 6R4's widened stance gives it genuine shelf presence beside continental Group B rivals from the same era. Displayed with Lancia, Audi and Peugeot's competing entries, it tells the fuller international story of that brief, dramatic period. Keep the sealed body dusted and shielded from strong light to preserve the printed liveries.
