Does anyone own a williams number 0001 to 0010?
One of the 1st willy's to come off production or was they used for rallying?

i believe the very first williams was just a prototype which was written of on the test track! and i believe that 001 is left hand drive!

oh :? i thought that 001 was factory produced car, not a prototype? and surley there must be sevearl no1's as they were produced in several different countries all with numbered plaques......so what happended to the right-hand drive no1 in this country? i thought it was written off by franky tbh

the reason i thought it had been written btw is that vid with mike brewer driving strombas no2. he mentioned on that, that no1 was written off.

i think its all a MYTH

Only one number 0001, the numbers are consecutive not parallel.

I'm sure KS told me 0003 is in France and still owned by Renault, though I could be mistaken.

Jonathan Williams told me that he thought 0003 was originally owned by the then Renault Sport director, Patrick Faure
