All Mk1 owners get in here 🙂

Yep was frankly incredible....despite a full spin early on 🤣

You will have to let me know when you go to Donno again if that ok? as I live very close. I was out in the valver on Sunday morning around there. I went to see Matt first in Hinckley and pick up a few spares.

Have you got your spin out on go pro?

I don't think I have, it wasn't running for the first laps unfortunately.

I'll be back at Donington later in the year more than likely, I'll let you know... If I remember.. Lol

I’ve done a couple of evenings up there. I’ve done only a hand full of track days over the years all in all, but I want to start using my Clio for a few track days this year and and I don’t fancy travelling too far as I don’t have a trailer etc.

Last one of the season at Mallory yesterday, time to tuck him up until next year

Such a shame the owner can't be bothered to be on the same side of the planet as the car

Clio Williams 0179 sold for £33K on Saturday: https://www.silverstoneauctions.com...lt-clio-williams-phase-1?el=18497&pn=1&pp=100

They don't look like original fog lamps to me and there's something amiss with that gearknob.

Shame that people who own mk1s and can drive them choose to drive a mk2 instead

Valver fogs I'm sure, think all Williams came with clear fogs. I might be wrong tho. Also non OEM fuel lines too.

Mega money

Repro heat shield too. I kept on having to find wider and wider washers to pin the decrepit old thing back on.

I'm sure having the battery in an oversized tea cosy didn't come as standard either! (I'm only being picky because I'm jealous, even though I'm not sure if I'm jealous of the seller or the buyer.)

Tell me exactly how you'd like it to be & I'll make sure my Williams is like that when I put it up for sale 😜

Paddy’s Williams will be for sale in 2050

Gives me lots of hope for when it’s time to sell my Williams

Old thread but only just found it.

Here's mine. It's my 3rd over the years but only owned this since Dec.

 

[Rocky_2483]

Sorry, full size images this time.

What a lovely car Sport Blue 16V on Turbines is easily my favourite interior pics please!

 

[Coops Mk1]

Mega, not updated this in ages, here's my latest....

The interior is showing standard signs of age. I need to freshen it up a bit but I will get some pics as it is when I am next with the car.

Shitter, what happened Coops?

Stunning phase 1 Rocky

There is absolutely nothing wrong with standard signs of age!!!!!!! Very nice car extremely jealous.

Roll kit pin sheared at Cadwell so I came to a halt, flol! No harm done though other than the component and the drivers arch

 

[clioboy16v]

my current weapon of choice, seems to be a familiar car with the plate “JGX” ?

[Coops Mk1]

New roll and bump correction kit from bridgecraft fitted today to repair the damage from Cadwell, chuck a new wing on from stock and we're good to head for a Geo and book next trackday

@ayli carper

Interior pics, pre-clean and I'm not much of a photographer! But here you go.

 

[Rocky_2483]

Me and the boy managed to get to a local car meet before it decided it didn't want any more coolant in the engine and left it all over the floor. Attempting the fix tonight so I can get it moved back into the garage before the rain is due here in the next couple of days. A guy on entry was taking pictures.

 

[rctempire]

Makes me want to fix my s**t boxes and get them running again.
Much jealous of you boys.

 

[Rocky_2483]

I may as well carry on putting a few photos on here whilst I still own the car.

Here are a few from the summer.

Mine and my friends V6 waiting to get into the French Day at Brooklands Museum. Was a poor turnout but not well promoted by the Museum. It was their first year doing a French Day so hopefully if they do it again many more will make the trip.

More photos taken by a random photographer at a local meet.

A very wet day below at Beaulieu Musuem for the French Day. I hid inside all day avoiding the rain so only took one photo. Once it dried up I got dragged to the new play area by my 5 year old. By the time we finished everyone had gone.

Last photo before being put away for a bit.

And now it's in the garage with a cheap temporary cover. In heavy wind it seems to get covered in dust as the wind rattles through the garage. It's stored in a lockup unit away from the house so not sure when it will next be out.

 

[ayli carper]

That's a lovely car. Incredible exhaust manifold heatshield condition!

 

[Cookson]

Love this 😍

One of my mates had a few mk1s and it was his fault I ended up buying my clios.

Wonder if anyone on here remembers/knows what happened to one. He had a blue mk1 valver reg L9PAJ back in 2008 or 2009 that had a cam’d 172 lump in it. It was one of the first done in the country (according to him anyway) and was converted in 2005 ish.

By the time he got it, it was stripped of everything, cage fitted and a pair of buckets. I remember going to a car meet in it in the middle of winter and coming back to the windscreen frozen solid on the inside with no way to defrost it 😂.

It was a properly rapid little car that was. He sold it to a lad based locally who I think was going to take the conversion out of that shell and fit it to his. The shell was a bit rough but never really saw the point. I think his was an electric blue 1.2. Be interested to see if it ever happened.
