[rick736]

guys my mates mate has a williams 1 4 sale, the kid really dont know much about cars n the cars up 4 sale 4 £1500. its just had a engine rebuild, it lowerd by 60mm or so. (not my cup of tea)
he claims it runin 170ish bhp!? says he has papers 2 prove it!
wud this be worth buyin.
p.s theres no rust newhere!!!!

It depends, I mean what condition is the rest of the car in, mechanically? I mean if it's had a re-build it should be solid, but what about the gearbox. Does it pop out of gear, or does the gear lever have a lot of movement? Has the clutch ever been replaced, etc.

make sure its a Williams..

VIN plate will say C57M for williams, and C57D for valver.

Sounds like a potential bargain, a lot of people don't realise what a williams will sell for they just think of it as a 12 year old clio. For that reason I wouldn't necessarily say it's going to be a crap one as it's just as likely to be due to a lack of knowledge on the sellers part.
