Unfortunately its come time to sell my car, this really is a reluctant sale, however I need the money to move out.

The car has been completely rebuilt less than a year ago. It has a fully re-build a reconditioned Williams engine. I bought an accident damaged Williams and used that along with a mint Clio shell to build this project. The car really is as new and I have receipts for around £30K now. I'm a perfectionist and got very carried away ensuring only the best parts were used in this car.


Exterior:
Full Maxi wide arch body kit including both front and rear bumpers, front and rear arches and side skirts. Body’s been fully smoothed including locks, aerial, bump strips, badges and fuel cap. Williams bonnet. Sprayed in a custom colour, black with a blue flip (turns dark blue when the suns on it).
18” lenso wheels.

Engine:
2.0l Williams fully rebuild and slightly tuned only 2000 miles ago, work includes:
Piper fast road cams,
Piper vernier pulleys,
Polished head,
Lighted and balanced crank,
Lightened and balanced Flywheel,
New group A clutch,
New crankshaft bearings,
New piston rings,
New camshaft bearings,
New water pump,
All new seals including up rated head gasket,
New cam belt and auxiliary belt,
New tensioners and followers,
Recondition alternator and starter motor,
All new plastic engine covers from Renault,
Reconditioned gearbox,

Suspension and brakes:
Williams rear axel and brakes,
New from Renault Williams front sub frame,
New front Williams lower wing arms,
Williams front calliper with over sized drilled and grooved discs,
Koni front coilovers,
Gaz fully adjustable rear shocks,

Interior:
Front Sparco seats and rears re-trimmed to match,
Interior fully smoothed and sprayed black,
7” wide screen mouled where oil dials used to be,
Oil dials moulded into glove box,
Williams carpet and mats,
Williams dials,

I'm sure i've missed lots of parts of the list but I hope it gives you an idea.

I'm open to offers (please PM me) and I have a figure in my head of what I could get if I split the car for parts so unless this is meet with an offer I will break the car. It is also worth noting that there are currently some small cracks on one of the rear arches and some stone chips to the front however if the right price is offered the car will be re-sprayed for the buyer.

Many thanks
Mark

not that much really. I'm just a perfectionist and wouldn't want to sell it unless it was right. That and the bloke at the bodyshop owes me a favour so i'm getting it at a reasonable price.

:) PMed you mate,

The colour really is nice when you see it. It wouldn't take much to turn it into a rally slag if thats your thing. Only really needs the interior stripping out.

Forgot to mention the shell had around 60 000 miles on it before the re-build and the engine had around 80 000 miles on it before the complete re-conditioning.

Thanks for the intrest

I'd hope i could split the car for around £6K so i'm after offers over that really, but if i can't get any really offers at all within the next few week i'll split the car.

So serious offers on the body kit, or complete shell, doors, etc and offers on the engine will be considered.

Don't forget everything is new. I've got recipets for several grand for genuine renault parts. the radiator, front subframe, covers, seal, etc, etc are all from renault.

sorry to sound harsh, but you'd be better breaking it for parts, someone would have to be crazy to spend that on a Clio and I cant see it happening. Turbo's go for around £4k and have bigger more expensive spec sheets, TB'd Clio's for around £5k.

I've replaced everything on my car as well, i'd never get £6k for it and it's a Williams, not a hybrid. good luck, but i'd start thinking about breaking it tbh as £6k is a lot for an old car.

dont get me wrong, it looks fantastic, but I think it's too much for what basically comes down to a hybrid with a bodykit and cams... sell the kit separate and sell the car whole with engine imo, hybrids fetch decent money.

do'n't worry i know what your saying. I know i was hoping with the price but i don't think i could justify selling for less if that makes sense.

I'm going to take some last photo's of it the weekend and might start breaking it then. Please PM if your intrested in any parts.

Thanks for all the positive comments :)

tbh Mark I'm in a similar situation, but I'll prolly end up keeping mine and just buying another car, as I'm loathed to let it go cheap for someone else to reap all the benifits... I'd rather leave it somewhere and use it every now and then as a track car.

i know what you mean but it really does have to go. I'm trying to buy a house on my own and need every spare penny. I really will miss her when she's gone but i want my own house more.


Unless someone can offer me £4500 very soon i'll start stripping this possible this weekend.

Come on offers on the seats, wheels, sub-frame, everything welcome.
