interior all looks gen williams, as do sticker locations outside, car colour and wheels etc. also looks to have widetrack which is a good indication.

also look for tubular exhuast manifold, jc5 tag on gearbox and f7r tag on engine itself

C57M vehicle code on teh VIN plate under the bonnet also

sticker on exterior are in correct locations but are not genuine ones, so guessing the cars had bodywork at some point

cheers mate

i done one of those reg check things and it comes up saying its a williams 2 clio

what are the main things to look at when buying it?

i read something about where all the oil level, pressure and temp needles should be when the car is running but can remember what it said :(

Check rear nearside wing, looks to have had some paint at some stage and perhaps bumper not reset properly...easy to sort the bumper though. Badges are not originals. Front bumper sagging a bit, again, easy to sort but nice bargaining leverage.

Read Arj's guide and good luck!
