Mint Clio Williams / Williams 2

[106diablogti]

Its been a while but im back looking for a mint clio Williams /Williams 2.

Must be as original as possible with a strong engine, low mileage without rusty archs or badly restored wheels / wrong decals ;).

I have good money waiting and based in Devon. I wish I had never gotten rid of my Williams 2 in the first place![/img]

5k budget, tell me what you have.

I am looking to sell my Williams. I bought it about 17 months ago and in that time have only done 600miles, hence selling it.

I bought it off someone who restored the shell - new arches, full interior out respray, refurbed wheels, 4 new michis - shell wise it's impeccable. It hasnt seen the wet in 3 years. It's on 119k - but drives well.

I have a folder full of receipts and willing to be flexible on price - I'd go mid 3's. It is currently SORN'd and MoT is up in May 2013. For a sale I'd be happy to put 12 months MoT and tax it - but, could go no lower than £3.5k - but, this is much less than your indicated budget.

I've posted a few pics below, I'll give you much more detail pics - however, before I do, I wanted to see if you would be interested?

I was put off by the term "respray" but it's in very good order and was done about 2.5 years ago now and there are no tell tale signs of a bad job - e.g filler sinking. Bodywork wise it's one of the best i have seen. It has a new scuttle, tailgate etc.

I have posted pics in the past - if you search my posts will see them

I'm on my iPad and when I get off it ill post some better pics

Mods wise, it has 3, a stainless steel exhaust (don't have the original), sabelt steering wheel, I'll replace this with the original & a CD player - again I have the original.

Just out of curiosity, why is Jamie's Williams not good enough?

I am sure there must be a few hidden gems out there still, Willy 1's and car collectors etc, but not many.

What exactly are you looking for? No paint? No Bodywork resto's? Etc?

Jamie's car is great but its a ten hour drive to where he lives. The belts are over due and don't fancy the risk of them breaking and stranding me half way up the country.

I don't mind if the car has had new paint or bodywork as long as the body work wasn't due to an accident and the paint has been done to a hi standard. I would love Jamie's car but the distance is a real issue.

Thanks for the comments guys, I spoke to Rich about the car and understand his concerns - seemed a really nice guy.

However, in terms of clarity - the belts aren't overdue. They were last done late 2008. 5 years isn't up for another 6 months - done little miles in that time. Granted the new owner may wish to change them, but, they're not "overdue". I think the price is also very competitive considering its condition.
