Welcome to the home of the Autoplas Metro 6R4

D884UPU is Metro 6R4 number 188, one of the original 220 cars built by Austin Rover in 1986.

Originally owned and run by Steve Harris in the Autoplas livery, the car was then owned by European Rallycross Champion Will Gollop. Later it was resident in Majorca and converted to left hand drive, returning after 10 years to head back into the forest on the stages in Scotland.

'UPU' can regularly be seen on demo stages, at displays and on the track, including the odd competitive outing, the most recent of which is the Colin Ellmore Memorial Rally in November 2022. It is also the only 6R4 to ever attend an event at Buckingham Palace.
