Will Gollop's First Metro?

[CS1]

Which bodyshell did Mauno Jokinen rallycross in Europe? It's definitely one of Will's, but who else raced it?


That would be the one he forgot to pay for.....?

Shirley comes on here sometimes so she may be able to clear things up. When I was looking at a couple of 6R4's last year, I spoke to Rob at Knockhill and pretty sure he had just sold the Malcolm Wilson one.

Yes, Rob's 'yellow peril' is definitely Will's first bodyshell. Rob told me that himself before taking me for a high-speed spin in the 6R4 for three laps at Lydden in August 2012!

And yes, he has sold the Malcolm Wilson car!

Richard Hutton once told me a funny little story going back to when he had a 6R4, anyway it seems when the shopping centre at Thurrock was being built the local lads would go down there on a Saturday night and drag-race each other for not inconsiderable sums of cash....
Hutton went up to a few of the quicker boys and told them he had a Mini-Metro back at home in Burnham-on-Crouch that would totally blow their cars into the weeds - I guess they had Capri 280, RS2000s, RS Turbo and other typically quick boy-racer cars. Anyway all the guys accepted bets for the following weekend, so during the week Hutton managed to get an MOT on the 6R4, filled it up with jerry-cans of petrol and drove it to Thurrock on the Saturday evening and totally destroyed the `competition` pocketed the cash and drove home again after giving his `rivals` a few passenger runs around the shopping centre.
Richard said he was actually out of pocket by the time he got home s despite winning loads of cash, it cost him more in petrol than he won!
Would have loved to see the faces on the young heros when he rocked-up in the 6R4 Lol!
