just HOW good is the bodywork buddy?
It's a bad time for selling a Williams, plus the add could be much more appealing. You need to sell the car with good images and write ups, not by lying but simply using the cars amazing powers of win to sell itself.

Well rust wise is really good - the sills have none at all and have had no welding. The arches are good - here are the arches ( Im afraid the car was filthy when I took these pics :P

The bonnet could do with replacing really as is a little dented and the front lip is bubbling slightly under the paint.

Yeah - I think your right, my advert isnt the best - I will rewrite it. I dont know whether the price is OK or not, the problem is that im not desperate to sell and I am gonna miss her so I would accept any stupid offers but no one has even been to see her yet let alone make me a offer!!!!

Say, 1200 quid? ;) LoL :lol:

dibs on that silly offer if he does not :D
Bad ad really, the car is filthy and looks rough as a result
What looks like a visible dent in the drivers door - cheap fix for you to do, dirty interior, horrible looking wheel colour, 2 month mot (should do it now not when someone is interested as its a waste of time for the buyer if it fails to death)
FSH upto ONLY half its mileage isn't what you put on an ad!
I personally would cancel that ad, wash the car properly, re-write the ad or get some help wording it and take some decent angled pictures and LOTS of them, link a full album of pics to the ad.
Offers of £1200 are to be expected with it looking like this I'm afriad.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feedback - Your right, I have been quite lazy with my advert writing etc. Daz - you think that the small dent in the door is easily removed? What do you think that the best course of action is for this? Remove the door card and push the dent out?? Thanks for the feedback
Also - if I were to break the car, what kind of money do you think could be made? Obviously I would prefer to sell the car as it is a shame to break a williams but if needs must I could break the car.
dent repair man would pop that out no problem with nothing having to be removed - would cost peanuts too.
Having just broken a Williams 3 I would suggest avoiding that route unless absolutely desparate! My decision to break was by virtue of the rust issues that would have been financial suicide to rectify! I am left with bits that I thought would be easy to sell, interior engine etc that have attracted very little sensible interest.
The benefit to me was I am restoring a W1 so a fedw parts are worth more to me too!
If yours is clean which it seems like it could be take heed of Daz's advice and get a well documented advert to give yourself a better chance. It would be a crying shame to see another one gone!
Yea dent repair for thats sort of thing is easy to sort, must get some done myself tbh :D
Have a look here: http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15762
Look at the pics, use them to think of examples you could do yourself. Close up shots of the bulging arches and good bits of your car etc. Clean it properly using 2 bucket method and shampoo/chamois/polish/blue colour magic etc, and wheels as clean as you can without damaging paint.
Tomorrow is sposed to be a better day weather wise so do it then.
Re-word the add, link to the sites of the best hot hatch ever and stuff like this:

Be honest about what needs sorting on the car and price it to match what you want and what needs doing, but always remember a buyer SHOULD know these cars are old and will always require work, but assuming it's not a total dog you'll sell it if the buyer thiks you have looked after it in some way...like most of us look after ours. Major selling point being in a club like this and having masses of forum history ^^
I will post new pictures up soon but I need the space asap so the Willy has to go - Im sure that this is a bargin price as the bodywork is good for a clio. £1300 no offers. It now has MOT on untill 25/02/2011 and tax until the end of March. Any one interested, give me a shout :)

Roflmao, im in Devon and getting spares is a nightmare
You could buy a spare car!!!! :D
Come on people!!! I dont think you could get a williams this clean for anywhere near what im asking!!! :)
£1200 :( The tax runs out at the end of the month.
Hi mate, would you be able to provide any detail on the reason it was declared Cat D?
The damage to the car was as follows:
Wing smashed
Wing Mirror Scratched
Bumper Scratched
Bonnet slightly dented and scratched on the side
TRE Bent
I replaced the wing, bumper, wing mirror & track rod end but the bonnet still has the small dent and scratches in it.

so what does it actually drive like,,,clutch gearbox,,,any rattles?
It drives fine through all gears with no problems at all with the engine, gearbox or clutch. Now and again the engine will have a tiny amount of tappet noise on start up when cold but only lasts for a minute - I asked about it on here and was told its very common and nothing to worry about - it dosnt happen everytime anyway - only now and again. The exhaust could do with re-hanging really as it knocks slightly on the rear axle when going over bumps which is a little annoying. I think it is just tired rubbers as it didnt used to do this. Apart from these, there are no other noises etc.
:( I really dont want to break this as its far too clean but I cant get any interest .... Anyone??
if you weren't so far away mate :(
