[Daz]

No, cus' mine isn't probably far off a new one, and wasn't anywhere near 15k, hehe.

What did you pay for yours?

[Daz]

Well I bought mine on the bodywork - no paint which is what makes a car mint to me (and Mat, heh) etc.. so was pretty rare. It took us about 18 months to find two Williams with no paint, so I had to have it. We were looking most weeks at one point, too.
It needed a couple of mechanical things which we knew about from the start - it's now at Mat's having a lot of work done.. It basically needs a clutch, but, whilst engine is out, it's having the lot done.. cambelt, alternator, plugs, leads - anything replaceable really. Steering column being done too as a bit of play going on, so the feel of it should be near on perfect, hopefully.

At the end, I'm guessing the car + the making it mechanically mint, it's bout 4.5k -> 5k.. roughly.. which, I don't think is too bad for a car like a Williams.

What happened to the Williams 3 you had?

[Daz]

Sold it last year sometime.

[KingStromba]

You just wanted a better one?

[Daz]

I wanted which hadn't had paint..

The 3 drove so mint.. it was perfect mechanically.. but the 2 hadn't be painted, so.. I took the plunge with a view to make it drive mint.. and that's finally happening.

So youll never paint it? What about stone chips?
