found a williams today,number 0048 supposedly, but thats a LHD one according to the register on blogspot:
0048
This car is a Renault Show car in their Historic Collection. It is left hand drive.

thing is i checked it over and its definatly a williams of some form, its on an 'L ' plate so that says 1, its sunroof less so thats 1 or 2 and its got all the other right bits.its willy exhaust manifolded and all badges bar the williams transfers are present
thing is the guy said it was from a breakers yard that fixed up a minor rear shunt for him before he bought it, he saw the damage and the car previous and confirmed it was all as it is now except the work done on the rears. which involved full respray from door pillars back. its had a new bootlid n all. that accounts for the top spec paintwork (its blummin tidy) and the lack of rust on the arches and lack of transfers!oh and no boot spoiler
inside looked spot on n all, 75k, all blue trim present and a plaque on the dash........0048! :shock: :?
how can this be? the plaque looks genuine, it doesnt look like a knock off, but is it common for this to happen?for copied plaques to crop up?
