Where’s the Willy 1’s

[Tim010]

Ive been looking for a Williams 1 with mileage preferably under 60k in standard condition for ages. No one seems to be selling them at the moment. There are loads of Willy 2s and 3s for sale.

I guess that everyone just wants to keep their car as they are so unique.

Yeah I have enquired about that Williams and although it looks mint I really want one with a lower mileage and one that is standard.

theres a willy 1 in for sale for 4.5k

 

[Adams_16v]

ooops too late...

i drive a Willie 2, and when i knew i wanted one and i start looking, it took me 4 months to find 1 to find one with less than 60k miles on the clock complete original from the first owner, full maintenance history.

thats something i couldnt say no 2.

if you really want a phase 1, keep looking for 1, im sure youll find a good 1, but it may take some time....

I heard Frank Williams is selling his if you have a spare hundred grand

 

[Tim010]

But I dont wanna LHD one!

get a nice little willy3 !!

 

[Tim010]

To be honest I wouldnt say no to a Mint Williams 3 but it would have to be fairly low mileage still. I went to look at one on the south coast on Saturday which was apparently mint but it had a few dents and flaking paint. Also the steering was way off centre, may have been the tracking but I wasnt too sure.

willy 3s are rarer are they not?!?! plus they are a different colour to the previous two models......

 

[Tim010]

Yeah I know there were less Willy 3s made but Im gonna wait for a Willy 1 unless a total belter of a 2 or 3 becomes available.

there may be a willy 2 comin up fairly soon..........

 

[courseiave]

hey tim the one you went to see wasnt in portsmouth was it?

 

[eves]

its all about the Monaco Blue!http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1061822598__nice_!!!.jpg">

 

[Tim010]

It was near Portsmouth right on the south coast. Its on the Auto Trader website priced at £6450 with 57k miles.

 

[eves]

6450 that alot isnt it???

 

[Tim010]

Thats what I thought. Think I couldve got it for £5500 cash there and then but I wasnt 100% happy with it. However it did have a full renault s/h which has to add to the value.

Me and Louise went to look at the one on the south coast yesterday, you said about flaking paint, we found it had been fully resprayed, laquer marks on every panel and it only said Williams on the side, no 3 badges. Had a couple of awkward panel gaps too. He did warm it up though unlike alot of other ones we have seen, limiter from cold lol

and one wing mirror was sports blue and other one monaco blue lol

A williams is a williams regardless of 1,2,3. Just get one that is mint as they are getting rarer and rarer by the day.

 

[courseiave]

i seen that williams before near pompey. i was shocked at the price and it was real bad condition too.
