I'd love a 6r4. Has anyone managed to build a successful replica I wonder? Donor engine would be a problem... the only other car to use the same engine is the Jag XJ220 (it had added turbos which you might as well use too )

Oh Yea Group B. When a car had wings when the drivers drove for days on end. When you only had to build 200. When shivers would run down your spine just at the sight of a car.

Have i ever said i like the old group B cars. Lol

Donor engine is the easy bit, donor transmisson is pretty much impossible to find.

Hi

Thinking about it the closest home made attempt to a 6R4 i have ever seen was based on a Reliant kitten if i remeber. Sure it used to race in a Oulton park championship. That would have been around 15 years ago though.

A decent replica 6R4 would involve so much 6R4 it'd be expensive, in my opinion.
The AWD system layout along with the drive shaft through the sump makes it all a bit bespoke at the back.
At least the shell would be relatively cheap, although the last V64V in ours was £25K.
