In this Rover Metro 6R4 episode of Car SOS, releasing on the 11th March 2021. Tim and Fuzz take on a lucky owners scrapyard find which just happens to be the winning car of the 1987 British National Rally Championship driven by Scottish Rally Driver David Gillanders. The Car SOS team for the third time seek out the help of the team here at Ric Wood Motorsport.

Originally planned for the end of Season 8 pre-covid, the project as a whole was left on hold for a while. However the car was thankfully finished around the end of July 2020, and has been kept as a secret ever since! Therefore it has been dubbed ‘the missing episode’ for many months by Car SOS’s Fans.

We released an MG Metro 6R4 Illustration Print to celebrate the Ric Wood Motorsport & Car SOS restoration of this British Rally Championship winning car at the end of Season 8!

Here are a few behind the scenes shots of the restoration!

Master mechanic Fuzz Townshend and parts-blagging petrol head Tim Shaw set off on a mission to save decaying
classic cars for their unsuspecting but deserving owners. The car is taken to the Car S.O.S. garage and carefully
restored to its former glory, leading to the big, surprise reveal!

Just a warning these reveals have been known to make grown men weep…

Car S.O.S is a truly brilliant show. Few car shows have ever been able to get the balance right between, story, education and entertainment.
However, these guys get it right every time, with every episode. We at Ric Wood Motorsport & CNC Heads, love to hear peoples stories, see the obstacles they are able to overcome, their journeys through all and how cars connect them together.

We are genuinely very privileged to be a part of something so inspiring.
