have just got back from looking at a valver with me next door nabour, he wants a cheap one for track car just to trash around with us lot lol!!

anyways when we got there a reet chav was selling it, he has a 2 year driving ban but buys cars and trys to make a profit on them,

this is the one

has full MOT and the body work isnt too bad really, he wants £800!!

but few questions i wanna ask, whats the difference with the dipsticks between a F7P and F7R, it has a black dot on the top!!

im querying this coz it didnt sound like a valver on start up it sounded alot more like a williams and just got a feeling he doesnt know what hes got, i may be wrong but does seem to be alot faster than a standard valver :lol:

i cant see the plaque on the bottom end!!!!

well its definatly a 16v chassis, no widetrack and so forth

it just sounded different to a valver, i sounds just like me gilrfriends bros when he starts his williams up, wasnt sure wether it has had a conversion but the bloke doesnt no!!!! :twisted:

The different sound upon starting up if probably just down to the condition of the starter motor.

I cant see the fact that a williams engine being fitted at some point would be the kind of info that a seller would neglect to tell a buyer....i.e. he would have been told about it, dont you think?
