Hello and welcome to the club.

Williams tend to be priced around 3 - 6K at the moment depending on milage and condition...

Mileage is not as important as condition though. You want to have a good look for corrosion, check to see if there is any play in the steering wheel, broken coil springs are expensive to replace, and maybe a once over by a rac man might save you a few pounds.

Try and have a look at a few cars as there seam to be a few for sale at the minute.

Or another way - post pictures on here for me the guys to have a once over....we might spot something

right lol price sounds alright depends on condition really, check for things like the rear arches, they can rust, check steering for play, leaks etc all normal stuff really,

reliability ,ive had mine 8month and only problems ive had is clutch cable snapped and alternator started dieing, which cost me a total of about £95 to put both right, yes the engines are strong if been looked after, good power, power comes in at 2500rpm and should do pretty much all way to limiter(6400rpm) , there a great all round fun car, love mine and wouldnt change it for another car, dont have to really welly it as such to get it going anywere, power comes in low enough to just put your foot down and your off!
