Hi, i own one of the few CW left alive in South America (there were only 200). It would be a 95 Williams 2 (no "2" in the badge).
Well, a couple of weeks ago i had this tacky xenon fog lights in my mirror while cruising down the highway...close to the mirror i realized it was a a Mini..."let´s see what happens" i thought...the bastard went away and did not wait for me at the highwat checkpoint (i lost a couple of minutes trying to get into the fast lane)...Mini was running i think at 180-190 kph, while stopped I watched it going away..."****in cowards all Mini drivers" i thought...again in the fast lane, CW at its top speed (230kph) searching for the Mini...it wasn´t at the horizon...minutes later, Mini appeared...aproached it (guess it was running at 200 kph), made signal with lights, passed it by with much effort, and placed CW in front of him...again, 230 kph, the Mini tried to pass me by...never could...smile on my face and the thought of "grab those xenons up your ass"...Mini driver furious with an old school a bit faster at top speed...Go Diamond Go!

Yea, the Cooper S is slightly down on handling and straight line performance compared to a standard Williams. Think it's probably due to the weight.

Whereabouts South America are you in? And what's the geographic spread of the rest of the Williams in S America?

Argentina.
I believe it´s the only place in S. America CW was imported to, since Renault has established its brand here since the 60´s.
Mine is CW 1995 No. 137.
