how about this for a bit of good luck!

spotted a williams1 today in my local town down a backstreet

****ed! i mean seriously nasty flaking paint on all wheels and covers tc missing on the engine bay plus it looked like it hadnt been washed since 1994 and mileage was 130k

anyway i stopped to make conversation as i was in mine.
he had the bonet up and asked im if he needed a hand.
it wouldnt start as starter motor has seized but he thought it was battery

anyway i helped him bump start it and got it going

asked if he'd be up for selling it and he said he'd love to but didnt think anyone would buy it :roll:

anyway i said what would he take and he said make me an offer so i said £400 and he said definatly! pick it up sunday!!!!

williams 1 with few months mot and taxed! and a dodgy starter motor!


how lucky am i thats 3 williams now!

1 for £1250
1 for £1200
1 for £400

and yes it was a williams 1 !

not a clio replica one

had interior, manifold, ****ed wheels lol

i'll find out what number it is and post it up

might be a previous owner on here although he said he'd had it ages


was the worst looking williams i've ever seen though but it looked like it had 3 inch of dirt on it so it might clean up nice!

matt brown yours for £1000 if you want it for bits???

i'll deliver it to ;)

"why you all like these machines so much is beyond me, if there wasnt such fools out there that buy these clio's id never even invest in any.

fair enough granted they look nice but mechanically they are terrible.

all clio's should be burnt"

:wink:

good find mate, wish i was that lucky

13-04-2006, 18:51

this was the best line he came out with

"i think a 2 litre engine, has yours?"

moment he said that i couldnt help but smile and thought to myself this is gonna be like taking candy from a baby. 8)

matt uk
13-04-2006, 19:17
definatly without a shadow of a doubt 8)


that things worth more than £400 even wif the gearbox starter motor and headgasket was gone!
