Hi guys,

I'm going to be as honest as I can in this advert.

I'm sure some of you may have seen the recent eBay advert recently for a Clio Williams 1 #0049.

Everything in the advert was completely correct, the car is near-on immaculate. No rust, cosmetically sound, interior great, runs very well, all great signs. So i bought it for upwards of £3k. I was driving home only to find there was a bit of a kangeroo/hesitation when on around quarter throttle. It isn't that bad, but would need sorting at some point.

I've done some reading on these forums, and it seems as though it could be a number of things, however, I bought the car as a 'mint example, and a perfect runner', and did not expect this problem. I really do not have the time or knowledge to fix the problem. I am disappointed because it is a lovely car, it really is. I fell in love with her immediately.

New cam belt, brakes, water pump, cobra immobiliser and more very recently done on it.

Because of the problem (and very reluctantly), I am going to put her up for sale on here.

I am willing to let her go for £2900 o.n.o. (priced to sell), immediately losing myself a lot of money, but for the fore mentioned reasons. I work for Bentley, so i appreciate a car in good nick, and after sorting this problem, she really would be worth a lot.

Anyone is welcome to come and view. I am based in Sandbach, Cheshire.

Is anyone interested?

Many thanks for your time,
Will

I would attempt to sort the problem, but as stated before, i bought it as a 'problem-less car', so unfortunately I didn't expect to immediately throw time at solving the problem.

The car really is priced to sell, and i'm sure someone with previous knowledge or experience of these cars, after spending a little time on it, would end up with a valuable little Williams 1.

Cheers,
Will
