Ex John Price Duckhams QS Metro 6R4 – Q191CPF

Multiple National Tarmac Championship Event and Championship winning car

A Rare stunning genuine car with massive unbroken history.

When first purchased this car, we spoke to John, and in his words, it was his favourite Metro.

The car was built by John Price, a specialist in Metro 6R4’s, top driver and respected as a 6R4 preparation expert.

In John’s ownership, the car was hired to Andrew Nesbitt, Theo Bengry and Peter Stojanovo.

This car is a very high spec; 2.5 Litre Goodman High Rev engine, rebuilt by 6R4 engine specialist M.B.E.) and done one event since, placing 1^st Overall.

After speaking with Steven Price (John’s son) he tells me that the car was re-shelled in to one of the 20 Austin Rover spare body shells. He also supplied copies of the service and event diary from John Price himself. Hand writted notes on the car, there is lots of history in there.

This was my dream car after seeing it competing on the Tour of Mull Rally in the 90’s, never thought I would own it.

I’ve won 5 rallies with the car, the last event was in 2012, and not used in competition since. It has been taken to a few Shows, and it always gets a lot of attention.

Now it is time for someone else to enjoy it.
