I know that the numbers are irrelevant with them (older uk cars with higher numbers than some later registered cars etc)

This dude has 0001

Pricey though imo.

i remember seeing this very car at the motor show many many years ago (1999)... was in a stainless steel cage surround. Then 1 year later.... was open for all to see


Absolutely stunning.... deffo should be treated the same way willy 001 is

001 should be pampered to hell, less than 16k aint too bad really for what it is!

Yes, Williams 0001 was used by Performance Car in a review alongside the 197 Cup.

I prefer to see a car like that driven and then written about rather than sat around gathering dust.

nice! £16k ouch!

 

[BREMBO]

Thats amazing. I agree it should like the williams

Ive actually driven the original clio V6 that was built and designed by Tom Walkinshaw racing - its a scruffy looking black clio 1.6 16v that was slowly developed by TWR and had a massive documented file on the start to finish build of the car. It looks like a V6 now but started life as a 1.6 16v 1998 clio 3dr h/b

I've seen pics of that car, I think the person who bought all of the TWR's stock had it.
