Please see new post "Buying a Williams 3"

Had Spax springs on my 172 MK2 and they were superb. Cant speak for the others as I havent tried them. Lots of people like Eibach springs on here too... R.

Okay, fair comments. The two cars that I have found have both been on Autotrader and are both "overpriced" compared to Parkers. Any other comments on this anyone? Off to see this car in 2 hours so need as much info as possible! R.

Anyone here know how accurate these are (from http://www.parkers.co.ukwww.parkers.co.uk)? The Williams 3 I am going to look at tonight it a 96-N, 80,000, FSH and apparently in "A1" condition, but they want £6000 for it. Parkers value it at around £4900. Anyone know how realistic these prices...

Damn right Paddy. Wouldnt touch the 206 180 for fear that it might be something like the 140bhp version. Its just too "soft" to be a true GTi... Am looking forward to going back to the Clio. They might rattle more, but theyre much more fun to drive! R

I want a Williams...... :devilish:

Cheers guys. Will print that lot off and take it along tomorrow. Given that list of problems, I hope the car will be worth it!!! Rhys

Someone assembles them? I thought they were meant to come in bits for fun-packed self assembly. Mine did... :@ R.

After getting into financial trouble and stupidly swapping my 172 for an older 206 GTi, Ive spotted a Williams 3 for approx. £6k. Not sure of the milage but it is a 1996 N-reg model and Im going to go and have a test drive tomorrow. Can someone tell me what the main things I need to look out for...

Ive kept up with a 5 door & a 3 door ST170 who were both apparently going flat out......and this was in my 206 GTi which I know for a fact is alot slower than a 172. Go test drive a CTR though; itd be silly not to. Im going to try one myself next Saturday. Rhys (ex-172 owner :@ )

GR - Hello again! Remember that my car was an import, so I was limited where I could go to sell it. I took it back to the guys that I bought it from and they offered me around £2000 more than anyone else for a part-ex value. Ive not even lost all the VAT on the Clio, which is pretty tame for a...

Craggy / Cooper-S / Abbs - would be great to meet up with you all soon. Will be excellent to have Clio 172 / 206 GTi / Mini Cooper and VTS all together. Will be like a magazine group test...! Incidentally, just this afternoon I put into practise an idea for a DIY induction kit. Went down to...

Hi all, Until a few weeks ago I had a MK2 172, but it had to go for financial reasons. However, I still needed a newish hot hatch (seeing as my 205 GTi is in bits at the moment!) and I settled on the 206 GTi, despite the panning it has taken from critics since its release as I found one at a...

Hmmph! Getting used to the 206 a bit now. Got a quick shift kit and panel filter on standby! Rhys

Thought the Saxo could do 60 in about 7.1 and the 206 in 7.6 or something. Thats the difference between your Williams and my 172, and I always seem to convincingly lose! Rhys

Nice one, Cheers, Rhys
