Williams'....how many good ones left?

[Dave H]

As above....l see a few are up on Ebay for £1.2k to around £3k.....but are there any real minters out there...low mileage unmodded ones?

 

[DrR]

001, but you'd never get your hand on it.

 

[Ali]

There are a few, but the owners will never sell...They'll be buried in them!

King Stromba breaks most of them for parts

 

[Fletcher]

I'd love to get hold of a mint example, great cars.

 

[Jamie]

There are a few very special ones left being less than 50k miles.

But there are quite a few in VGC but have reasonable mileage. There are a few on here but all i can think of are 90k>. Mine is on 91,800 but still runs well.

 

[Dan_Williams2]

yea there a few good examples still running around.

i got my one a year or so ago and it hadnt really been that looked after so im currently in the process of buying bits for it to restore it to its former glory.

the car ass a whole though has now done 108,000 miles and still runs like a dream, had to have the cold temp start sensor replaced this week and could do with some new leads and dizzy butother than that i cant fault it.

Guy on Renaultsport was offered one with only 9K miles on it for 7.5K. So they are out there, but 7.5k... worth it??

 

[bendee]

i had one, imaculate on 36k sold it for 4200 and couple weeks after the c**t crashed it. gutted.

 

[davebem]

Its more fun to buy a worn out one and restore it yourself, you get a great car out of it and lots of self satisfaction.

 

[Dave H]

Well the reason for me asking is that after owning several 205 1.9's and a 172 Cup and now a 182 Cup l am starting to get a feeling for wanting a really mint classic.Lancia Delta Intergrale is perhaps a bit too fragile (and LHD) and an Escort Cosworth is a bit pricey.But a Williams in mint condition does appeal.

Hmmm...182 Cup in RB px'd for a minter Williams? Anyone done it on here?

I remember that guy, is he still about?

 

[Ali]

Paint and bodywork wise my old one was spot on...Then again it was resprayed!! 103k on the clock when a sold it

 

[lozw]

Stromba runs a forum which has the williams register on it with all the remaining williams 1's.... There are some mint examples still about!!

Really good place for info, sign up and have a look about its www.f7power.com

 

[lewisniven]

i have a very good one (which is for sale), its not 100% spot on showroom mint, few tiny bodywork bits need sorting but its definately among the better ones out there.

[Mancunian Lee]

Got a mate who just strapped a turbo onto one for his other half

 

[172mattyc]

i have a good mint one for sale with 82k its on ebay now i want 2500

peoples opinion of mint is so different.

what 1 might say is mint, is far from what someone else would call mint.


there are very very few williams' out there that i would call mint.. for me mint is one thats 100% original (mainly bodywise) without having had the need for any kind of bodywork whatsoever. even the low mile ones have had some bodywork, just ask stromba about no.0002, only summat like 20k miles, but its had a front end.


go figure.

 

[Daniel]

I have one very mint willy!! .

Seriously though, Its on my website.
