just got off the phone with my attorneys in the USA - where i work, and due to recent law changes and the changing exchange rates my initial business investment is now not enough to meet the strict visa criteria.

As a result, im just putting the feelers out to see if anyone would be interested in buying my Willy 3 in the next 3 weeks? Not definitely selling as im working on other ways to raise the money, but i have exhausted most of these in the first place.

Here is the car and spec:

Clio Williams 3:

It has FSH and stacks of receipts and has never wanted for anything. It is in great condition and is an absolute joy to drive, everything you would expect from such an iconic car really!?

It has the following subtle mods:
- Tarox Sport Japan front discs and pads
- custom chip - Gunner (check guides section for my instalation)
- Full Stainless Mongoose exhaust and decat
- performance 8mm HT leads (my group buy)
- lowered & uprated suspension
- Hillpower heat shielded induction kit with cold feed (brand new filter)

I bought it as my 3rd car behind my Mitsubish Evo and BMW 5 series. However, I am currently in the process of moving most of my business to the USA and as a result i have had to liquidate everything i own. I have been using it as my everyday car for the past few months and its been superb!

Since owning it i have spent alot of money doing the routine things and have always got genuine renault parts: (brand new)

- Williams gear knob
- exhaust manifold heat shield
- rotor arm, dizzy,
- lambda sensor
- manifold fire ring
- rewelded manifold (common problem)
- accellerator cable
- rear pads, brake lines,
- exhaust gaskets and manifold gasket
- manifold studs
- professional gearbox rebuild
- recently stonechipped underneath
- door pins
- spark plug cover clips

list is almost endless!.. needless to say its had alot of time and money spent on it to keep it tip top. Its always been warmed up before any spirited driving and is HPI clear, still has original supplying dealers reg plates fitted to prove - the same as Northy's.

It is currently sitting on prima willy wheels but also has an extra set of 15inch gold momo's with 195/45/15's fitted, and a set of original speedlines with 195/45/15's. The car runs superb and is very nippy, handles superb and is ultra reliable, never broken down or failed to start, the only issue i have had since buying it is the passenger rear carrier bolt sheered off, Ste at Port-Formance, sorted this and new brakelines. Its had its big service, cambelts, tensioner etc.... and i have just done its oil, plugs, oil filter, sump washer changed this week and still have 15litres of oil and 5 litres of coolant left over.

I have just bought a passenger and drivers door in mint condition, i have fitted the passenger door this afternoon and swapped over door cards, mirrors etc.. and its sweet as a nut, will be doing the drivers tomorrow if all goes well. I have already fitted a new bonnet and it is mint, no stone chips etc... as well as a new tailgate... Like i said, this is an unforeseen situation and this is my pride and joy!

The only downsides are the fact it has the inevitable Renault arches, both bubbling under the paint, passengers side only slight, drivers more so. This was on the agenda for spring.. but too cold and wet at the moment. Front bumper is slightly flaking but i have touched it up prior to having it sprayed and modified for foglight air feeds when the weather warms up. Other than that the car is very honest.

The car isnt for sale anywhere else as i haven't decided what i want to do 100% yet, i just wanted to see if it tickled anyones fancy on here? I will NOT break it so dont ask.

The car is MOT'd and Taxed till 3rd feb 08 and has covered 121k miles with FSH and receipts. drives perfect.

Northy saw it last week, GazTwo has driven it, Stan has seen it briefly and Gunner has had a play in it too so im sure they can answer questions should you want a 3rd opinion.

Price? - well i would like to sell as a job lot, car plus 2 extra sets of wheels, all the removed doors, tailgate & bonnet, servicing equipment, sump key, 12-15 litres of 10-40 semi synth oil, 5 litres Type D coolant.

Willy wheels are worth £200 on their own, momo's £75-100, old doors, tailgate, bonnet £150+, oil and coolant £40 etc.... so i would be asking £2,699ono for everything....

Perfect for someone looking to track it with spare parts etc.. or to buy and sell off spare parts and make it a cheap Willy 3 purchase..

All previous MOT's to warrant mileage

Please pm me for more information, pics, offers...... Its located in Warrington, Cheshire for viewings, i dont mind travelling to meet people within reason.

had a lot of interest thus far so thanks for that, got some peeps coming to check it out this weekend too.

If you have any questions just pm me, there is some movement and flexibility in the price but i would prefer to sell as a whole package due to the amount of time and hassle it would save.... So pm me with offers please,

David
