    how hard can this be

    Cant belive how hard it is 2 find a williams 1

    looked at 5 now and they all have rather been resprayed fully or are just been ragged apart. :

    Phoned up about one,the advert said mint condition.The garage said you will like this bodykit,gold tinted windows,what are these people thinking when they do things like that (TREVS)

    IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ONE PLEASE EMAIL ME/PM

    needs to be 2 live /gaz 2 approved

    Try finding two which hadn't been sprayed at all.. 18months it took, and looking at almost everyone which looked half decent..

    I'm not surprised, there were just under 400 imported into the UK 12 yrs ago, remove chavved, written off etc...you are talking small numbers left.

    I am a little confused about your reluctance to buy a car thats been resprayed, I think the Williams came with a 8yr anti-corrosion warranty, but the conditions in the UK are severe on cars, surely a car with a good quality respray is ok?

    Please be patient, and don't let desire prompt a poor choice...Good luck

    dont mind a bit resprayed but the one's for sale at £5000 had a full respray.As gaz 2 said you dont know what is under it

    No rush just have to come with Northy till i get one might end up been car less though and resorting to Northys skoda

    my worry is if it has been resprayed it is going to take a few years to see what is under the paint could be a right rust bucket would rather see whats wrong and then do something about it but this is easier said than done( this is going to be a nightmare )

    Prehaps widening your options to include 2+3 would be a good idea
