Bought the Swiss Champion

The other one was also a Swiss champion but it was missing some stuff, also we couldn't get it to start.

I have monitored the prices of Williams all over EU for a while now and the mainland prices are far higher than the UK. Even though the Williams is regarded as a legend here in the UK, they are Renaults so are seen to be rusty nightmares, plus we are spoilt here for used performance cars in more ways than one. Saying that, prices are definitely on the rise for good to excellent condition cars:

...and they are getting rarer!

Till now the cheapest Place to buy a Williams is the UK.

But no only the Williams.

That is due to the fact that UK is the only country in the EU that uses RHD.

Before i bought this Swiss Champion I was thinking of buying another Williams, but this time in the UK.

I have now a Swiss Champion, a Williams 2, and I'm on the search of a numbered 93 example.

Rust is a big problem on this cars but can be solved.

I've completely repaired my Williams 2, (replaced the sills, and the drivers side floor pannel.

It has been a very time consuming process.

The Swiss Champion also needs some work on the sills, the arches are good but the sills speacilly on the rear jacking points need repair.

Tis why some clever folk like me import and export cars to Japan ^^ Not done it in years but I know of more than one Williams over in Jap.

Conversion from RHD to LHD are also an option.

A mate of mine 3 yeras ago converted an BMW E46 320cd from RHD to LHD.

It's not that expensive (if you buy used parts).

It's time consuming and it's only worth it if you do it yourself, because to pay for a job like that the bill is huge.

Here in Portugal you see lot of Uk cars in salvaged yards to be sold as spares.
