Williams 3 N808 HGP

[Matt24v]

Hi all

Finally decided what to do and im selling the Clio, only bought it last year in September and had a few days of fun in it (put less then 1500 miles on it). However when getting it ready for use again in early April i found a lot of rust on the rear chassis / rear panel and crappy repairs in other areas and im disheartened to the point ive lost all interest in it.

I bought the car after seeing the for sale add on here and the "restoration" thread here http://williamsclio.co.uk/forum/show...lding-Required!

Sadly its not that good :(

Anyway to the car

N808 HGP Williams 3
98,400 miles
Original Bookpack
Lots of old MOT's
Stainless steel supersprint manifold fitted with a magnex exhaust system.

it runs and drives spot on, just the shell and previous cosmetic work lets it down

Sorry to hear that you have decided to sell the car Matt.
I do feel sorry for you, its such a shame that you bought a car you though was good only to find out it has been poorly repaired.
Top marks though for making a brave (and probably very sensible) decision and deciding to cut your losses and also for being so honest in your description of the car.

Cheers Phil

If id of known about the rust from the start/purchase id of been happier but i was led to believe it was all sorted.

Ive taken a quick video, cold starting and a quick visual of the car including some of the lacquer runs on the boot

Gutted for you pal.

I'd personally sell the car on ebay the with your honest description and a reserve of £2000.

Sell the rest of the bits either on here or on eBay to help recoup your losses.

It's still a good repairable car and at £2k, a great restoration base for the right person IMO.

Easily repairable mate my w2 was the same in those areas, but the question is how far does the rust travel :(
