    What to do with my williams 3

    Hi everyone im new to the world of clios and bought my first williams 3, 2 weeks ago with no mot thinking i was having a good deal, only to find that the sills needed welding for the mot. So Needed less to say i was a bit gutted so went out a bought a really clean one with full service history and a years tax and test. Now i dont know what to do with the first car. Do i sell it or keep it for spares. The car drives tidy and now has 12 months mot, but are they worth more in spares as i dont know how reliable they are? Any comments or help would be great

    If you have the space - Keep the 1st car and get the sills done. Then you can sell it on complete. The 3's are the rarest williams of the group.

    they imported the least 3's out of the 1s and 2's.

    Plus i rarely see a nice willy 3 out there. This is down to the 3's being worst with corrosion.

    I would get it back up for sale if you dont have space to store it.

    sounds like a sell on job mate, presume if you dont have off road parking you aint got space to break it and see for spares either?

    end of production run, think maybe moved production or something to allow main factory to fit out for mark 2 production, used thinner than normal steel as well i believe and poor quality control. you find a lot of the late m to n plate valvers are the same
