STORY

The MG Metro, launched in 1982, was the sporty version of Austin's compact Metro city car, built to bring back affordable MG performance. The MG Metro Turbo had a turbocharged 1.3-litre engine developed with help from Lotus, and it was lively for such a small car. The Metro 6R4 Group B rally car took its name and body shape from the Metro.
