After much looking, etc etc, i have finally got what ive been after.
After a 3 hour round trip have just returned with a lovely Williams 3, only 2 owners, FSH, 62k, absolutely beautiful condition, completely original and standard aprt from CD autochanger in boot(not sure if they were standard?)
Apart from a few test drives tonight was my first proper drive of a Williams and i have to say i was very impressed, felt very responsive, solid and tight, felt like a much newer car, !, ok there is a fair bit of road noise but first impressions are a great car, much fun to be had.
I have had about 30 cars, everything like GTE's, XR2, XR3,Rs2000, Sri, Gsi, Gti's, etc , etc, even a few beemers and a porsche but i have to say the Williams is one of about 3 that have really put a smile on my face.
Wll get some pics up when i can.

It has the standard 1.8 engine, standard but still exciting, it runs sweet so wont change it but when it goes bang i will prob put a valver in it.
There is some more pix and details of it in the pics section, cheers
