Near Perfect Williams 1 (Very Low Mileage)

[Cuppy 172]

Dear WilliamsOwners,

I've been trying to source a mint Williams 1 for many years, more years than Iwish to think about.:???:

I'm currently fortunate enough to be able to buy that perfect Williams 1, if itexits.

I know this is a big ask with the car been 20 years old, but this is my wishlist:

1. Williams 1
2. Condition: Excellent
3. Mileage: Not greater than 40k, the lower the better
4. Service History, ideally full Renault
5. Owners: No more than 1-2
6. Accidents: Zero

Any advice would be very much appreciated

Price: Below 10k

You'd spend £9999.99 on one? :)

[Cuppy 172]

If such a car exits then yes, however was hoping for a little change from 10k :winkey:

All I can say is you'll be searching for a while

[Cuppy 172]

I suspect I will be, got to start somewhere.

Are they any members on the forum who have such a car?

[northy]

Yes there are cars on here both 1, 2, and 3,s

[whitepoint]

You have maybe 5% chances to find such one - you can search for years :) But in this budget you can build new Williams :) Make full renovation of interior, completly rebuild the engine and gear box, put new suspension etc.

Have a look through the williams 1 register - most of the cars on here are listed in there.

[Cuppy 172]

haha brilliant.

[Cuppy 172]

My search is not going well :-(

[Cuppy 172]

I think you guys were right, its proving very difficult...............

[Jamie.]

Have to take a compromise somewhere. So many will be sorned now.

[Dean250]

for that kind of money you could search for a very tidy example of a willy 1 for it's shell then remove the engine for a full overhaul and have the car resprayed with a top paint job whilst it is out

all of the the decals correct labels etc are now available, full wheel refurb and correct tyres and you will be under budget with a very fresh new williams

[Cuppy 172]

I think your right, new plan it is :)
