    Hello from sunny Manchester !

    Hi Williams Clio enthusiasts,

    Just thought I'd say hello, and introduce myself briefly.

    I'm on the look out for a decent car, after selling my mk2 golf gti 16v, earlier this year, and would like to try something else, something French !

    Have owned all sorts of hatchbacks over the years, Fords, Saabs, Volvo, BMW, Audi, VW but strangely never a French car.

    The Renault Clio Williams has definitely captured my imagination so far, if its better than my previous mk2 then I'm in for a treat.

    If I can find one that's got a reasonable mileage and decent bodywork/paintwork then I will take the plunge.

    If anyone has anything to offer please feel free to contact.

    Cheers A123 (Alex)

    Hi Alex,

    I was in your position few weeks ago, I have a W2 now, enjoying every minute of it before winter.
    I would say that wait to find the right one, be patient... Body work, parts are expensive, so research, see a couple and then she will come to you.
    The market is little, and prices still way below french market, so it is the right time to buy...

    Cheers
    Fred

    Hehehe :D

    Welcome Alex!

    I don't post here as much as I used to, but there a few of the others here that may be able to help out with your searching!

    Since the 90's I wanted a Williams, and I finally got one about 8 years ago: No. 0217

    It has been a serious adventure, I don't think I will ever sell it. It used to be my daily car and has been once or twice even when I had other nice cars with it, due to them breaking down. I think because I used it everyday it became a bit 'normal' for me, but for other people it is far from normal. It is a hot hatch Legend and provokes petrol heads and inquisitive folk to come over and ask me stuff about it. Before I blew it up about 4 months ago I had some new track day tyres put on, and when I came back the staff were taking pics of it outside.

    My new job, there are quite a few people who know there cars, they keep asking me about it. I am only a lowly serf nowadays, but some of the top brass are petrol heads and have hunted me down to talk track days etc :D

    It's a cracking car, going up in value fast, but if you know what you are doing with a spanner then mechanicals are quite easy to sort so you can source a few bargains still...
