Its almost the same car mate.
Only a few bits are different and they all come from Renault!
You may however find that Williams have been owned by older and more enthusiastic people who take more care of them.
Theres plenty of Valvers out there mate, theres always mint ones on here for sale.
Hehe.. I was the same. Started looking at 16vs but then convinced myself of the Williams route.
http://www.daz-uk.com/williams/differences/http://www.daz-uk.com/williams/differences/ to see how the Williams differ from the 16v.. and how they differ from Williams 1, 2 and 3.
my r5 specs are
H redg, tungsten grey, rust free!, full europarts engine with new everything inc rad, alternator, turbo full sfs silicon hose set, full stainless tank set thats it at the mo the car is being built back into a sweet lookin standard 5 just need painting and waxoyling and interior putting back in car drives sweet and has done 67k, the engine has done 1.7 miles

I think I have every difference pretty much.
Need to add a few bits - like manifold difference etc.. which will help people when they buying - make sure they are definetly getting a Williams and not a 16v! Hehe.
its drivable but its not road legal its really only the engine and running gear thats worth alot about 2500quid needs painting too good for if someones after probably the best engine u could buy ! shell is rust free i dont know if i can part with it everytime i have it ticking over on the drive it just sounds awesome
Dont get a 5, get yours converted !! youll miss the way the valver feels, i was gonna swap my clio 16v for a mates 5 but couldnt after i drove it, yeah it was a LOT quicker than my 16v BUT the interior is NAFF and i didnt like the drive of it !! deffo clio GTT mate

sorry for highjakking the thread, dont give up on the 16v mate keep looking, or even better get a willy, itll hold its value better !!
16vgaz - dont give up fella! i was in the same boat as you when i was looking a 16v myself!! It took me 6months in the end to find an example i was happy with. Sadly not all 16vs are looked after aswell as some of the Williamss out there.
If your patient you WILL find the 16v your looking for, maybe more so even quicker now you have found cliosport - a website based for clio enthusiasts! This is where i found mine - mine had just 40k miles on the clock when i bought her, and has served me well ever since! Ive not so much as had 1 problem with mine... despite all the common issues others mention. Ive recently had a Williams convertion too - and touch wood has never let me down / shown signs of any problems either!
Keep searching!
pic of mine to help ya keep up some faith with your search!
