This looks to good to be true

[Trapps84]

Saw this on fb....other than not physically seeing this seems to good to be true, I know it's a bit of a bgamble but surely this if as good as it seems I a solid investment with instant returns to any buyer, what am I missing?

Advert alone would put me off tbh. But then im an ass.

 

[Trapps84]

Agreed lol, It could be worth me making a trip to Ireland I've got family there so even if it is a bag of I could make something of the trip.

Certainly wouldn't commit without seeing it!

That reads as it's a 16v, 'valver' not a Williams?

 

[cat171]

Got anymore pics ?
It's a valver done up like a Williams no ?

It's a 1.8 I thought Williams had a 2.0

It's a copy. But not a very good one.

The plaque shouldn't be there. The carpet should be blue. The centre of the steering wheel is wrong as it's from an older car, the car should have an air bag being a 1995 one. It's badged as a Williams but a 1995 / phase 2 car would be a Williams 2. The boot spoiler is colour coded, but I'm not sure if it's a Williams one.
The wheels should have a sliver lip on them iirc. The bumper strips etc should be black.
For £4k I'd find a better one.

It's registered as a 1.8 16v

That's what I was missing, tbh 1.8 was a total give away I should of picked up on!

Thanks all

The second word of the ad tells you it's not a Williams.

I just thought he wasn't aware what he has, now I know I wasn't aware what he has 😂

Is proof reading too much to ask? Seat belts are Ebay blue rather than the darker Williams too.

I really don't know my Williams or 16v's hence why I put it to the experts.

I'd have either in a heart beat, it's only now I realise I should have kept my Valver which is why I think I will hold on to my 172 if it doesnt disintegrate in front of me

Same with my first R5 gtt, kept it for years mostly stored and sold it about 4 years ago after owning it for 11 years.

Always wanted one, missed the boat on that one
