    Is it a write off?

    This is a williams 1 that I bought from a chap who stuck it in a ditch. The really sad thing about it is that there is no rust on this car. As you can see the
    o/s lamp and identification plate were cut out due to the damage on impact.
    1 for the scrap book?

    Well spotted Mat.

    Do you have the missing VIN plate still?

    I'd write it off and break unless you have access to good accident repair shop. Some choice bits on there still!

    Yes lads this one is promised to Mat..but ive ran into some trouble with my own hence you see some missing parts.
    There is minimal and I mean minimal rust on all the components.
    Trust me this would cost at least 4K to put right. the roof is kinked in in many places, besides the rear quarter panel needing repair, the bonnet,drivers door is off a valver and in need of paint.
    So yes sadly it will be broken. Maybe someone can use the shell for track or rally?

    For the sad gits that keep records of which Willy 1's are dead or alive (that includes myself!) can you confirm what number this one is??

    RIP
