I bought a 1993 16v

[fixedgear]

Pretty pumped on this little motor.

It's like being 17 again, reminds me of my mate's Clio Williams back in 2004.

Here's a photo, some of you may have seen it on ebay

Awesome. Money pits. But awesome.

Awesome. Money pits. But awesome.

It appears to have had a lot of parts over the last few years, so lets hope she runs nicely this summer.

Come Autumn I think she will get put to bed with a 205 GTi and an Evo 6.

 

[mossyv6]

Oh the memories

Awesome motors ............ When not breaking down

 

[imprezaworks]

Mate had one, mint and was sold for 1500 years a go.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

That is cracking!

 

[imprezaworks]

What do these fetch nowadays? I know some Williams models are obscene money

 

[mossyv6]

@imprezaworks

Decent ones are commanding top money mate.

 

[mossyv6]

 

[imprezaworks]

I've got my eye on one on eBay but it's strong money I think and a track car. Looks ace though lol

Link mate please, need to have a look but I have too many Clios so don't worry

 

[182_steve]

Ahh nice one!! I saw this advertised on one of the facebook groups and was kinda watching in the background, he said it had just been sold......... he also said he was amazed by how much interest it generated, looks a great example!

Nice mate but a bit too hardcore for me - I must be getting old, lol.
Reminds me a bit of Coops car.

I was trying to remember who else had one. That car (shell) was jords (foxy) off here.

Dave, yep it will be very quick and handle well

 

[mossyv6]

@imprezaworks
Have you been on clio16valver forum - that car is well known over there.

 

[imprezaworks]

No mate not been on there for years. Was only browsing and spotted the car. Remembered watching foxys videos years ago when owned it and his mate had a white one. That white one above is his too.

strong money but if i was in the market for a clio trackcar i would stump up 3k for that all day long. not sure i would pay much more tbh

 

[Turbo steve]

Mine is back up for sale after having a time waster.......:rage:

 

[fixedgear]

Mine started with a £3...

 

[imprezaworks]

Dont half fetch good monies

 

[Scrooge]

That's lovely, more pictures needed!

[jim cook]

When i asked the guy selling it now, he bought the shell and did the rest. To a similar spec too

 

[Stefan.]

Great buy

I still regret not getting a williams clio when i went looking at some

Have you got a link mate?

 

[Turbo steve]

I used to sit and drool over that very car about 12 years ago..lol

 

[cat171]

Looks nice! They sure are a rare sight these days! I had a blue 1994 M reg one with grey leather back in 2001.

 

[_Tom]

A lad Milks who used to be on here with a Red MK1 turbo still has his on the road..

 

[Turbo steve]

It's a bloody fab car but unfortunately has to go to make room, the other half will kill me if I get another car and not move one on

 

[ClioMike89]

Had 3 of these before and they are so much fun but yes they can def be costly to keep going! Miss mine but the 197 is making up for it

 

[terryc101]

Looks lovely, they're certainly fetching good money these days.

I remember when you could pick sub £500 ones up weekly.

 

[fixedgear]

I have really enjoyed driving the car over the last couple of days. It's great to be back in a tiny little car, albeit a little cramped at 6'7"

She needs a few bits here and there, bless her.

New pedal rubbers required, 5er on ebay

Radio isn't correct but close enough, just needs installing correctly.

Glove box is taped shut, needs a new handle, mysterious lock barrel inside..

Quick tidy up

Thinking of hydrodip here..

Trim required.

New weather strips required

 

[White16valver]

Mysterious lock in the glovebox is for the alarm or immobiliser IIRC.

Looks mint, though, I hate you - mine needs some serious cash spending on the shell to get it de-rusted and I might well have to sell it as-is, although I don't want it to sell it to some vulture who will break it for parts and scrap it

Just epic on the right road - at some points I've actually had to have a word with myself to slow it down because I was getting wayyyy to drawn into enjoying the driving experience.

.

It's a manual immobiliser,Turn the key and no power goes to the fuel pump.I still jump back in sometimes and start having a meltdown because the car won't start, then I remember!

I looked at the grey one a week a go, with a little over £3k in my pocket (we had spoke a lot about the car and agreed a price) it had a few minor issues when i looked at it but the worst was it felt really slow, didnt have a 5k kick and just didnt pull anywhere near as hard as i expected (he said he had done the belts with the proper tools) that being said if it wasn't for the bucket seat feeling to tight for me i would still have bought it.
