Well I have been on the look out for a mk1 for sometime - was initially planning on getting a valver + widetrack williams suspenson but decided it best to buy a more special car.

Unfortunately the williams 3 I wanted (mat brown's mate was selling) got sold last week so hunting around i found one that looked reasonable and sounded pretty decent so I went to have a look at it this morning - all looked decent enough - went back and bought it.

It needs a lotta things doing to get it back to the way it should be. The wheels are hideous might buy some new speedlines or get a pristine refurb done.

Williams 1 No.69 - Registration from factory L69 **U
123K on the Clock - fully stamped book.
Lots of receipts in folder.
3 weeks Tax
5 Months MOT

Like any car of this age it has its faults - all of which I plan to sort out in my ownership. I got it for a good price. It will probably get a trip to Nick Hill in the near future for some work and a complete assessment of the car itself.

Just wana say thanks to Sean (seanofnp) for the advice and lift to pick it up also. Also to Matteh, arj256, and shackal(the lil rascal)!!

Thought I would Post up a couple of crappy pics for the time being.

The last one shows No.26 tucked away (whilst my brothers off travelling)
My dead and nearly buried Clio 16v and my No.69 in the back

never really liked 172s but of late they have started to grow on me.

Think that ph1 looks really nice.

How does that compare to the williams then?

LMAO - It looks how it does coz of crappy camera phone pictures.
As Sean said its 449.
All in good time - once I can sort out all my other cars and whats needed on 69 I will take some proper pics - will show number 69's true colours then :D
