willy 3 13000miles how much???
Hi,
I'm looking to buy the cleanest williams I can to have as a concours project. I have found a williams 3 which has 13000miles on from new with the present owner having had the car for the last 15 years. I've spoken to him and he seems like a nice guy, and he obviously wants the best price for his rare car, However having trailed throughout the internet I can't find anything to use as a reference as to how much his car is worth.
So, in short that's my question. to be fair to the current owner I think this car has to be at the top end of what these cars are worth? it's just what is the top end for these cars in this condition?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated as i'm hoping to phone him today and hopefully secure a deal.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony.

Firstly, if you take what the OP's opening line was it doesnt make sense.
What exactly is a concours project? A car in concours condition is a project for what exactly? For show? Thats not a project really is it.
Secondly, in reality a second hand car is only worth either
(a)what someone is willing to pay for it
OR
(b)the sum of it's parts to a breakers.
Looking at option b we know for a fact that a breakers is going to pay anything between £600 and £1000 for a Williams for the sum of its parts. In my view it does not matter if you have spent 10 grand replacing parts on it or it has 10K on the clock. They dont give a hoot.
At option A we know that an enthusiast or maybe collector (and there is a distinct difference between the two) will pay asking price if he really wants the car. Your average joe soap will laugh in your face if you said to him you wanted 6 to 10 grand for a Williams.
It has many different values to many different people. Therefore, debating the price of a Williams is pointless.
For me there is no monetary value to mine. It's special to me, for the places it's brought me and the time I've spent repairing it, and the people I've met along the way, the memories in other words. I would not swap it for all the williams left on the planet.
It is a special car!
