What would this Williams 1 be worth?

[djs93]

Hi guys, I'm new here and in need of abit of help and advice.

There is a Williams 1 I know of locally, my Dad does work for the people and has known them for many years.
It's the original Williams 1 (1993 L plate)

Now I'm thinking about buying the car and either keeping it myself or selling it on. I'd like to know how much you think it's worth now, and how much it would be worth once I've sorted it out.

I've had a good look around and found out what's what and what will need replacing and stuff

Here's the main details of it

2 Owners from new
56000 miles
Been stored for about 8 years but we have heard it running
Couple of small dents in the boot
All 4 tyres will need replacing
Wheels in need of possible refurb
The rear arches are actually pretty damn good and not very rusty at all
Underneath the car (as far as I can see) the rear axle seems pretty rusted up, pretty solid but would need a bit of work doing
Interior in excellent condition
I should imagine the suspension and joints would need replacing
Engine would obviously need a full service and cambelt replacing


That's all I know about it really, I think I could get it for about £1300

What do you guys think about that ? Could I make a profit on it or not ?
Thanks in advance!

If you get that for £1,300 then it's an absolute steal.

What would be the value of it if it was in good condition and I tidied it up abit. As it's only had 2 owners and only 55k miles it should be fairly good ?

[p4cks]

£4k if it's got decent history

Could be worth more than 4K if it needs no remedial bodywork and is still on original paint... get the dents in the boot done paintlessly.

Without seeing it very difficult to tell.... as one persons MINT is another persons average.

Cheers Ian

Bodywork was in pretty good condition, a few scratches here and there but should polish up well considering the age. The dents were right on the boot ridge so may take a bit more work to get them out but should be easy enough. Yeah I did have a photo somewhere but I can't seem to find it now. I'm going to price up how much it would be for the 4 new tyres cambelt change service and the things I definatly know it needs doing.

4 tyres- £350
cambelt kit £120 odd(free if u fit it yourself)
service- £50ish with filters and oil.
cheap!:D

My biggest concern is the brakes and suspension after sitting for so long are bound to be rusted and siezed
