Service history or condition? Would no service history stop you buying a mint condition Williams?
Service history or condition? Would no service history stop you buying a mint condition Williams?
I've got a Williams 1 which I bought a couple of years ago.It had been in storage for around 10 years,I asked about the history but the owner said he had it but didn't no where it was.the car has no rust at all and seems to have original rear arches and sills but would need a respray as paint is abit dull and has stone chips.just was wondering would it be worth spending for a full respray if people where put of with no history if I was going to sell.
Hmmm - let's see pics. Not sure id condone a respray. Amazing what a prof detail can do on old and faded paint.
Service history means precisely **** all imo, I could fabricate a service history really easily & use a potato as a service stamp.
I'd be getting a proper detailing freak to do their thing with the paintwork as you'd be astonished at what those guys can do
It's all about justifying the value imo. When you say service history do you mean a stamped book or proof of the work?
With every car I have I document all the work its had done in a folder so it's dosnt have service history in a service book but its a lot better and shows the car history.
Paint wise, keep it original i would rather buy one this way then you can judge it yourself. As said if its not got any rust a good paint detail would be better.
only picture I have of it is in the post your Williams number section it's 253.i have the car in the corner of my garage but I've a host of things covering it and set on it.ots been there 2 years and has done any driving.i fitted a timing belt kit and serviced it before I parked it.i would like it sitting with nice new paint,it's got to many chips here and there mostly at front.

can't tell much from that.
I'll take a picture later to show its current state.ive got an ongoing project in the garage too,when it's movable I'll take out the Williams and take some good close pictures to show what's it's like.
