I'm guessing this means there's no way of identifying using the serial or chasis numbers?

[katbloke]

Nope , but if chassis number contains c57m somewhere in it then you know its at least a williams shell

[Geeky]

Nice summary of info all the same though, cheers :)

[eoin2486]

Howya eoin2486. where abouts you based? I'm in dublin city.
dont pay any attention to this lot..as you can tell they havent a clue what there on about :lol:
seriously though well done on finding a williams in these parts without rust! Is it in good condition mechanically? the irish are not as good as the brits for looking after their cars, and this lot are really touched when it comes to looking after their motors!
Finding specialists is impossible when things go wrong over here. the main dealers are a complete rip-off and difficult to get them to help. If you need a hand with anything i'm on 0871534301.
Good luck,
Fab.
