About the MG Metro 6R4 #8 P. Eklund / D. Whittock Rally Finland 1986 Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast MG Metro 6R4 reproduces the #8 Eklund/Whittock entry from the fast, gravel-based 1986 Rally Finland, with opening doors, hood and trunk on this used example. The box shows traces of storage; the casting is intact. A distinctive V6-powered Group B piece.

Per Eklund campaigned the 6R4's naturally aspirated V6 through a demanding 1986 season, and this Rally Finland livery captures the car on one of the calendar's fastest gravel events.

Diecast Construction of the Naturally Aspirated Rally Car

The zinc alloy body gives this Metro 6R4 genuine substance in the hand, and Sun Star tools the flared, boxy bodywork with consistent panel gaps despite the doors, hood and trunk all opening on this example. Lifting the hood and rear hatch reveals the mid-mounted V6 configuration that set the 6R4 apart from its turbocharged Group B rivals, a layout collectors specifically look for when judging a model's engineering accuracy. The #8 livery for Eklund and Whittock carries period-correct graphics and sponsor decals, printed with clean registration. Doors swing with real mechanical resistance, letting the piece be posed convincingly on a shelf. As a used example, the box shows traces of storage, wear limited to the packaging rather than the diecast body itself.

Rally Finland's High-Speed Character

Rally Finland earned a reputation as one of the fastest events on the World Rally Championship calendar, its smooth gravel roads and long jumps rewarding cars with strong high-speed stability rather than pure low-speed grip. The 6R4's naturally aspirated V6 delivered more predictable, linear power delivery than its turbocharged rivals, a characteristic that suited exactly this kind of flowing, high-speed stage. For a Group B collection already featuring turbocharged rivals from Audi, Lancia, and Peugeot, this 6R4 offers genuine engineering contrast, and its specific Finland livery adds a distinct event to a broader 1986 season display.
