Williams number 0223 is up for sale on ebay at the moment.... 1.5k last time i checked. Its based in portsmouth, so I went and had a look at it this lunch time.... Auction ends tonight at 6:30pm, some comments below if anyone off here is interested in buying it:
its got 104k on the clock, the lad (25ish), has only had it for a year, he says he bought it from a garage for 4.5k. makes me wonder why he is selling it so cheap, he wants 2250 for it. and its been up for sale for a while.
Cosmetically its err well, a bit of a sorry state. There is no rust, except on the inside bottom of the tailgate. Didn't look as dark as my 449 Sports Blue, so made me think it was a respray, would also say why there is NO external rust on a car thats done 104k, not even stone chips in the front of the thing.
Its had a knock to the rear 1/4 panel, drivers side, nothing bad, the paint work is still intact, its just pushed in a 1/2cm with a 10cm crease, this could easily be pushed out though.
The front and rear bumpers were not on properly, and either the tailgate was sitting wrong, or the passenger side light cluster was hanging too low.... the rear bumper was hanging about 1cm to low, you could get your fingers between the bumper and light clusters. The front bumper was sitcking forward to far at one side. Kinda made me think its got a twisted shell perhaps? Or just damage from the previous bump.
The wheels are in very poor condition, refurbed already i think as the paint is all bubbling off them, even in the middle of the wheel, so made me think they are poor refurbs, or someones left alloy wheel cleaner on them too long, lol.
Gummed up exhaust joint, backbox-centre piece joint.
Engine runs ok, accelerator peddle didn't have as much travel as mine does. Felt ok. Car handled ok, although the front passenger side spring is snapped as its sitting lower that corner, very noticable.
The car is standard, except for a K&N replacement filter. Didn't seem to pull as well as mine, but i dunno... standard exhaust...
Personally I wouldn't buy it... needs a lot of work doing to it. but for 1.6k or whatevcer it goes for, could be a bargain if its not bent.
Williams number 0223 btw, forgot the reg plate.
