Hi Everyone,
After two 197s (Cup and FF), a Willy and a foray in to the dark side (DC2 Honda Integra), I've just bought a Phase 1 as a cheap daily runabout - pic attached - thanks to Lisa for the easy deal (and no bullshit!)
Since the last time I frequented here, I've also added a Lancia...
Epic buddy! Had mine a couple of weeks, and I am addicted. The 197 has stayed on the driveway ever since.
It's the whole sense of occasion and the raw mechnical feel that makes them so good! I'll post pics on mine up when Paypal accepts my bloody money! Cheers for the thoughts on the Decat too...
We took bikes last year, which is a ten minute ride to the main entrance or 20 minutes walk. The good thing with this site is the 'night opps'. There is a small field at the back of the site, and if you walk through it, you are right on the fence at the end of the Mulsanne Straight where the...
Sorry chaps, but without digging back through the thread, who is the main person that organises the Le Mans trip on here? I went last year (epic, bar a scrap with a frog and the fact I saw 8 laps in 24 hours...thank you Guiness tent!) I've just added a Willy to the garage and prefer to go retro...

Price for the work isn't bad. Do it, look after it, move on.
Just joined the site today. If anyone can point me towards a parts man or bodywork specialist or any trader on the site, I'm after a Williams 2 bonnet asap.
Thanks for any help!!!
Just joined the site today, and lo and behold, Rich has put up pictures of my Willy before I've even had a chance. For those that are interested, I've got a 197 Cup too. The Williams is so much more fun... raw and mechanical. Never made a better purchase in my life. 0-30, the Willy feels like it...
